Amics de la Festa Ciutat Meridiana is a platform for bringing together associations, organisations and businesses in the neighbourhood. And it is this association that is responsible for organising the festa major, which lasts a good week.

The brief but intense festa major, the main festival of the neighbourhood, comprises a series of sporting, popular culture and fun activities. There are also community meals, historical itineraries, and dances in the evenings, as well as events for kids and older people.

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.

Since Modernisme is a characteristic trait of the area's architecture, the Dreta de l’Eixample wanted to make it the central feature of its festa major.

The Raval festival is organised by the residents' association, the Associació de Veïns del Carme, with a lot of activities that are designed to appeal to all ages and tastes.

The Festa de Santa Rita, patron saint of impossible things and rose hawkers, is the biggest popular religious celebration in the Raval neighbourhood.

On the evening of 5 January, Barcelona organises a big welcome for the Kings of the Orient, who set off on a big parade through the city's streets, followed by a long procession.

The festa major is held around the feast day of Sant Gervasi and Sant Protasi, on 19 June. The festival committee organises all kinds of events, including communal meals, concerts and a variety of activities for children and teenagers.
