Fiesta de los Tonis de Taradell

Introduction and local significance

The Fiesta de los Tonis de Taradell is officially celebrated on 10 January 2026 in this municipality in the province of Barcelona. The schedule includes prior events such as the presentation of the Tonis 2026 awards, which takes place on 10 January 2026 at 18:00 in the Can Costa venue. This festival stands as a living tribute to collective memory, peasant culture and traditional trades, with a direct commitment to the tangible and intangible heritage of the rural world.

Historical origins and tradition

The current celebration maintains a direct link to the agricultural and livestock work of the past. The festival market was created last year with the aim of showcasing artisan products and traditional trades closely linked to the rural environment, food, the land and natural resources. As part of its customs, the programme includes the traditional fogueres de Sant Antoni (bonfires of Saint Anthony) and the characteristic passant dels Tres Tombs parade through the streets of the town.

Programme and main events

Given that the schedule includes the main events in the upper section, it is worth highlighting the start with the trobada de tracció animal (animal traction gathering) in the Espai 1 d'Octubre, the religious service with the procession of the banner and blessing of the animals at the Església Sant Genís de Taradell, and the II Mercat d'Artesania dels Tonis starting from 10:00. Exhibitions of tools and equipment from L'Alzinar are also programmed, alongside demonstrations and workshops along Passeig de Sant Genís and Espai 1 d'Octubre. Please check the official listing above for full details on times and locations for each event.

Traditional festival food

Among the culinary highlights is the tast del porc (pork tasting), a traditional feature of the festival that forms part of the official event schedule.

Visitor guide and where to stay

The main festival area is located at Espai 1 d'Octubre. During peak periods, it is preferable to use public transport or park your vehicle outside the town centre. It is advisable to book accommodation well in advance for these dates, whether in Taradell itself or in nearby towns, to easily follow both the daytime and evening events. Visitors are recommended to double-check official event times before travelling.
