Reus Carnival
February
Colourful floats, parades and wacky costumes are all features of this two-week carnival, a great street party where the food and drink flows freely.
FEC Festival

This festival is dedicated to short films, so there’s always lots to check out, from mini documentaries to comedy skits and cinematic art installations.
Trapezi
May
Hordes of acrobats invade the streets and squares of Reus for a few days every May, with the trapeze artists a literal highlight.
Festa major de Sant Pere

This fiesta is the biggest on Reus’ social calendar, and commemorates the city’s patron saint through a series of parades, Catalan dancing and a huge bonfire. Look out for the ‘dance of the giants’, where locals boogie their way through the streets, donning oversized papier mâché outfits.
