The festivities dedicated to the Apostle, the patron saint of Santiago, of Galicia and of all of Spain, last for about a fortnight. This festival combines religious and official solemnity, tradition and entertainment, which turn the entire city into a large fiesta.

July 24^th and 25^th are the two main days. On the night of July 24^th there is an impressive firework display in honour of the Apostle, visible from different points in the city. 

All activities are free and open access until full capacity is reached.

The attractions will be in the Alameda from the 17th to the 31st of July.
Inclusive quiet hours (no noise): on the 19th, 20th, 21st, 28th and 29th from 5 PM to 7 PM.
Punto Lila (violet point) at the violet booth in the Alameda, from the 19th to the 31st of July, from 8 PM to 1 AM.
