San Lorenzo Fiestas

The second week in August, Huesca celebrates its fiestas in honour of San Lorenzo, the city’s patron saint.

The sound of a rocket being set off from the balcony of the Town Hall is the signal for the start of nine days of activity and fun, with music, folk groups and traditional dance, concerts, associations, religious events, sports, “vaquillas” (bullfights with young bulls) and a host of festive activities for young and old.
