Complete program and news of Corpus and Festa Major de Sant Pere 2026 in Reus

Reus prepares to experience one of the most eagerly awaited festivals with a direct local impact. This year, the city celebrates four centuries of the relic of Saint Peter and seven hundred years of Corpus Christi, a combination that promises surprises and tradition in equal measure.

The program of events, presented on May 26, will run from June 4 to 30 with activities for all tastes and ages, organized by the Reus City Council in collaboration with local entities.

Highlights and special commemorations

Two additional tronades and commemorative events

This year, two more tronades are added to the usual ones: one on the afternoon of June 7 for Corpus and another on the morning of June 28 for Saint Peter. The latter includes an extraordinary event to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the relic of Saint Peter with the procession of the reliquary bust and the joint dance of the festive entourage to Mercadal Square.

25 years of the Ball de Galeres and retrospective exhibition

The 25th anniversary of the revival of the Ball de Galeres will be commemorated with an exhibition at the Castell del Cambrer and a parade on June 13, culminating with traditional dances and live music. In addition, new costumes made by a local tailor will debut, a detail that will not go unnoticed by lovers of tradition.

Corpus and Festa Major programming

Corpus: tradition, carpets, and cannon

The Corpus, from June 4 to 7, maintains its classics: dances of giants and the Mulassa, parade of the small elements, fire bulls, the dancing egg, creation of carpets, and the procession. The cannon will sound again on Saturday the 6th, an element that still awakens passion and excitement.

Accessibility, merchandise, and complementary activities

Attention to people with hypersensitivity and reduced mobility

As in other editions, quiet and platformed sections are set up for people with reduced mobility and sensory hypersensitivity, an aspect that is never overlooked and demonstrates the city’s commitment to inclusion.

Merchandise and spaces for families

Sale of products with Festa Major motifs, such as t-shirts and bracelets. In addition, a campaign is launched to facilitate families leaving strollers in designated areas, a detail that will help enjoy the events more comfortably.

A program that, between tradition and modernity, once again places Reus at the center of the festive agenda of the Camp de Tarragona.
