Ten colles de foc, fire groups that take part in traditional pyrotechnic street performances, filled central Terrassa on Friday during the Festa Major correfoc, a fire run that started at Sant Domènec and finished at Raval de Montserrat. The procession drew hundreds of people into the city centre and affected the busiest festival area as performers and spectators packed streets around the route.

According to APD Notícies, the route ran through the centre from Sant Domènec to Raval de Montserrat. Canal Terrassa and other local coverage identified the correfoc as one of the signature events of Terrassa's Festa Major, with appearances linked to local fire traditions and anniversary celebrations including the 30th year of Drac Baluk.

The route brought fire performances through the centre

  • Start: Sant Domènec
  • Finish: Raval de Montserrat
  • Participants: 10 colles de foc
  • Attendance: hundreds of spectators, according to APD Notícies

For residents, families and visitors in the centre, the significance was immediate: the correfoc concentrated large crowds, noise and pyrotechnics in the core of the old town during the city's main annual festival. That made central streets around the route the focal point of Friday night's Festa Major activity.

The correfoc of Terrassa's Festa Major brought together 10 fire groups in a procession through the city centre, starting at Sant Domènec and ending at Raval de Montserrat, attracting hundreds of people.

A long-standing Festa Major event

Local broadcaster Canal Terrassa described the fire run as one of the most emblematic events of the Festa Major, while Terrassa Digital's separate coverage this year linked the programme to wider popular culture events in the city. One of the featured figures this year was Drac Baluk, whose 30th anniversary formed part of the festival schedule.

The correfoc is part of the traditional culture programme that brings diables, dragons and other fire figures into the streets. In Terrassa, that means the event is not only a spectacle but also a major draw for people moving between the festival's central squares and streets during Festa Major.

People planning to attend other central events during the festival can check Terrassa's official Festa Major programme through local listings and municipal channels, as the busiest activity is concentrated around the city centre route and adjoining squares.
