The event features actively participating groups from neighborhoods like Gràcia, Sarria, and Sant Gervasi, creating a festive atmosphere filled with music and joy. The current festival tradition traces back to 1830 when a baker initiated the now-renowned pilgrimage to the hermitage of Sant Medir, setting the stage for decades of celebration and friendship.
