Perpignan’s Feux de la Saint-Jean are a central expression of Catalan identity in northern Occitanie. The 2026 event is built around the Flama del Canigó, with the programme centred on Allées Maillol and Place de la Victoire at the foot of the Castillet. The celebration links the solstice, the Canigou mountain, music, public gathering and the symbolic transmission of fire. The event presents a living tradition shared across Roussillon and the Catalan cultural area while remaining rooted in a specific urban landmark of Perpignan.
