SUMMARY:Fêtes Saint Vincent\, Collioure
DESCRIPTION:Fêtes Saint Vincent\, Collioure\n14th – 18 August 2024 \nThe traditional parade of the relics of Saint Vincent and the procession of Catalan boats delight visitors every year. With sardanes and coblas\, traditional “jocs del fissó” (games) on land and water\, parades\, fanfares and fireworks\,  this is a fun festival not to be missed. \nCollioure will be packed to the brim. Expect difficult parking and crowded streets. Check here for public transport in and out of the town and street closures to prevent high blood pressure and family fall-outs! \n \nCredit: Eva Hodneland\nThis festival was first celebrated in the year 1701\, on the day when the relics of St. Vincent\, the patron saint of Collioure\, were returned to the village. Numerous festive events have been preserved including\, for example\, games and competitions on the water\, such as the ‘ronde du clocher’ (swimming around the port and bay) and various nautical games. \nDemonstrations of Catalan fishing boats\, dances for everyone\, street parades\, concerts and live concerts and music. The Catalan Procession on the Sea is a highlight of the celebrations and the streets are filled with bodegas\, music\, dancing and all manner of entertainment as well as a grand firework display. \nAnd the best thing of all for those of us who are anti corrida……is that  the Collioure corrida is no more! Enjoy the festivities. No bulls will be slaughtered nearby. \nFULL PROGRAMME\n\n\n\n\nContact the Office de Tourisme for more info \nTel: 04 68 82 15 47\nEmail: contact@collioure.com\nWebsite\nFacebook \n\n\n\n\n  \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
