A celebration of the Catalan language
Since 2003, the Sant Feliu City Council has collaborated with other administrations and local entities to organize each year the Week for the Language, a set of activities and cultural events around the Catalan language. The main objective is to highlight Catalan and encourage its use from a playful, reflective and enjoyable perspective.
This year, in its 19th edition, Language Week will take place from April 20 to 28. The main event will be Sant Jordi’s Day, which is celebrated next Tuesday, April 23.

Language Week will begin with the children’s and family show “The dragon makes a move”, by the company LaBerta DelPoble. This function will take place on Saturday the 20th at 12 noon at the Montserrat Roig Library.
On Monday the 22nd, there will be a double offer for families. At 5:30 p.m., the awards for the II Sant Jordi Literary Exhibition will be presented in the Sala Ibèria. Then you can enjoy the family show “Quin desastre de Sant Jordi” in Carrer Joan de Batlle, by the Cia. Jomeloguisojomelo.com.
