The Festivities of the Virgin of August are Banyoles’ little festivities (as a run-up to the Festa Major). The specific days are 15 and 16 August, although different activities are also programmed during the days before and after for enjoyment by all ages and all interests. 

The activities programme includes: children’s shows, concerts, correfocs (costumed people dancing with firecrackers in the streets), traditional Catalan dances (sardanas), circuits of the town by giants (gegants) and big heads (capgrossos), workshops, guided tours, etc.
