For over four decades, the small Catalan town of Tàrrega has played host to one of the most significant cultural events in Europe – the FiraTàrrega International Festival of Street Arts. This annual celebration of the performing arts has not only captivated audiences from around the world, but also served as a driving force in shaping the very landscape of street performance.At the heart of FiraTàrrega lies a deep-rooted mission – to promote and support the creation, dissemination, and professionalization of street arts. Over the course of its 42-year history, the festival has evolved into a multifaceted platform that nurtures artistic expression, fosters industry collaboration, and strengthens community ties.
The festival’s artistic programming is a testament to its commitment to diversity and innovation. From mesmerizing acrobatic displays to thought-provoking multimedia installations, the streets of Tàrrega are transformed into a vibrant canvas for performers to showcase their talents.

But the festival’s impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the performance venues. Through initiatives like “Hivernem” and “Suport a la Creació,” FiraTàrrega provides crucial support to artists, empowering them to develop and present their works. These programs offer funding, resources, and mentorship, ensuring that the festival remains a driving force in the evolution of the street arts scene.
The festival’s commitment to the community is equally impressive. The “(Un)Common Spaces – In Situ” project explores the dynamic relationship between art, public space, and the local population, fostering a sense of shared ownership and creative expression. By inviting the community to actively participate in the artistic process, FiraTàrrega becomes a catalyst for social engagement and cultural exchange.
Alongside the vibrant public programming, FiraTàrrega also hosts the FiraTàrregaPro platform, a dedicated space for industry professionals to network, collaborate, and share knowledge. This unique aspect of the festival underscores its role as a hub for the broader street arts community, enabling the exploration of new frontiers and the forging of lasting partnerships.
As the festival continues to evolve, it remains firmly grounded in its commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. Through initiatives that prioritize environmental consciousness, support for the local economy, and accessibility for all, FiraTàrrega demonstrates a holistic approach to cultural programming that resonates with the values of contemporary society.
In the ever-changing landscape of the performing arts, FiraTàrrega stands as a beacon of inspiration and innovation. By empowering artists, engaging communities, and fostering industry collaboration, this remarkable festival has become a true celebration of the transformative power of public space. As the curtain rises on each new edition, the streets of Tàrrega come alive with the boundless creativity and infectious energy that have become the hallmarks of this international cultural phenomenon.
