The Festa Major de Sant Joan 2026 incorporates audio description and sign language
The Festa Major de Sant Joan 2026 is preparing to be a more accessible and inclusive event than ever before. Good news for everyone who wants to enjoy the festival without barriers.
The Valls City Council has announced that various accessibility measures will be in place during the celebration, designed to facilitate the participation of people with hearing and visual disabilities.
Accessibility resources at Sant Joan
Audio description via QR codes
One of the main novelties is the incorporation of an audio description service for the official Festa Major program. This service can be easily activated by scanning QR codes distributed at different points.
The audio description offers a detailed narration of the events, helping people with visual difficulties to follow the development of the festival with all the information.
Sign language service at key events
A sign language service will also be offered at various events considered key during the Festa Major. This will allow deaf people to follow and participate without missing any detail.
This service shows the commitment to include everyone and ensure that local culture and traditions are accessible to all.

The initiative has been well received by organizations and neighbors who see in this commitment a tangible improvement in the quality of the festival program.
