Activities
The “Virgen de la Barca” Festival is a must-attend event that perfectly merges religion with the joy of the fiesta and leisure. Every year, thanks to the efforts of the “Romería da Barca de Muxía” Cultural Association, a program is created that respects tradition and offers different types of experiences.
The big day is always the Sunday following September 8 (and before the 15th). But the celebration does not stop there, as the festive program extends over four days of pure emotion. From Thursday to Monday, Muxía comes alive with:
- Musical and cultural performances for all tastes
- Spectacular fireworks that illuminate the Muxía night
- The traditional opening speech that marks the beginning of the festival
- Solemn religious services in honour of Our Lady
- Lively open-air dances featuring the most popular orchestras
Although each years brings its own surprises, the program always maintains four fundamental pillars that connect us with the festival’s history. Come to Muxía and experience one of the most authentic festivals in Galicia!
