Santa Eugènia will once again become a large open-air stage from 3rd to 5th September with a new edition of the Mostra d’Arts Escèniques. Bar theatre, circus, music, dance, workshops and street performances will fill different spaces around the village over three days, with numerous free activities and events for audiences of all ages.
The Mostra d’Arts Escèniques de Santa Eugènia 2026 returns this September with a programme that takes the performing arts beyond conventional venues and brings them into the streets, squares and some of the village’s most recognisable spaces.
From Thursday, 3rd to Saturday, 5th September, Santa Eugènia will host theatre, circus, music, dance and contemporary performances in a festival that places particular emphasis on bringing artists and audiences closer together.
The programme will begin with an evening dedicated to Teatre de Barra, continue on Friday with performances and music, and reserve one of its busiest days for Saturday, with workshops, circus, the Quarterada Teatral and a closing party.
