The annual festa major of these two neighbourhoods is organised by a group of residents and traders associations, along with social and educational organisations.

Gràcia's festa major is regarded as the maximum expression of the neighbourhood's identity and consists of a whole series of celebrations that combine public participation with popular culture.

The neighbourhood's festa major, held in honour of the Mare de Déu de la Salut, is a compendium of activities organised independently by various streets, associations, and municipal centres.

The four-day festa major lasts a whole weekend and ends with the 11 September national day celebrations. The various activities are held in the most emblematic streets and squares of the old town centre.

The neighbourhood's festa major is very closely linked to the old hermitage, which is also known as the Font-rúbia.
