Roses, in Girona, will begin its 2026 sardana season tomorrow, 13 June, with weekly dances every Saturday at Plaça de les Botxes. The open-air sessions will feature cobles from across Catalonia, starting with Cobla Contemporània.
The dances will begin at 22:00 during the summer months. In September, the start time changes to 21:00, except for the Catalan National Day event on 11 September, which will start at 19:00.
The programme also includes the traditional sardana competition on Saturday, 22 August, with Cobla Flama de Farners scheduled to perform. The Town Council says the annual cycle helps keep the sardana tradition active and offers cultural events in a central municipal space.
