The Sant Andreu Municipal Centre for Popular Culture is located beneath the Plaça de Can Galta Cremat -the popular name for an old textiles factory that used to exist on this site - and it plays host to a range of this district’s traditional organisations: the Sant Andreu Needlemakers Association, the Bastonera de Sant Andreu, the Foment Sardanista Andreuenc, the Geganters i Grallers de Sant Andreu, the Germandat de Trabucaires, Grallakatú, Sambandreu, the Satànica de Sant Andreu, the Sant Andreu Tympanists and Zingària, the Womens Association for Reclaiming Mediterranean Dances. A number of city and national organisations are also based here: TEB [Barcelona School Workshop], the Ball de Bastons de Catalunya Coordinator Organisation, the Trabucaires de Catalunya Coordinator Organisation and the Catalan Tres Tombs Federation. These organisations are one of the main driving forces behind the cultural vitality of this district, which plays host to some of the most deeply rooted and participatory events such as the big annual neighbourhood festival and the Tres Tombs, which is held in honour of St Anthony Abbot.

On the other hand the Sant Andreu Municipal Centre for Popular Culture also provides a venue for meetings, lectures, talk, exhibitions, screenings and workshop activities on traditional culture.
