Description

Camp d’en Grassot and Gràcia Nova are two recently built neighbourhoods to the south-east of the old town, Vila de Gràcia. One, Camp d’en Grassot, was a rural area that was later industrialised, while the other was a small neighbourhood originally named Ca l’Alegre de Dalt, and now called Gràcia Nova for commercial reasons. Both areas began to be developed in the second half of the 20th century.

The annual festa major of these two neighbourhoods is organised by a group of residents and traders associations, along with social and educational organisations. A lot of the activities take place round the La Sedeta civic centre, one of the most dynamic places in these parts. The festival lasts a week and involves all kinds of activities: art exhibitions, communal meals, dances, concerts and sports events. Popular culture takes the form of a correfoc, a cercavila gegantera  and a display of stick dancing.
