Lleida will celebrate the Major Festival of Sant Anastasi from May 8 to 11, 2026 with a security reinforcement of 170 Urban Guard agents, access control in some events, and more than a thousand parking spaces enabled in the vicinity of the Camps Elisis.

The start of the programming will arrive on Friday, May 8 at 8:00 p.m. with the drone show "Lleida, a dream of a city", which will bring together about 300 devices from the Seu Vella. The opening speech of the festivities will be given by canoeist Saúl Craviotto, one of the prominent names of this edition.

Security reinforcement and access control

The mayor, Fèlix Larrosa, has announced that the Paeria will deploy 170 agents of the Urban Guard for the security of the main festival. He has also specified that some events will have cordoned-off areas to control the access of attendees.

The device will pay special attention to spaces with a greater influx of public, among them the Camps Elisis, one of the epicenters of the festive program. In this area, the city council has also confirmed more than a thousand parking spaces enabled in the surroundings.

Music on the Champs-Élysées and midnight party

The musical lineup of the open-air festivals in the Camps Elisis will include Sexy Zebras, Auxili, 31FAM, Renaldo & Clara and Valdivia. The night program will be completed on Saturday at midnight with a Remember Party in Pavilion 3, with the participation of DJs from the former Wonder nightclub.

Return of the Battle of Flowers to Rambla Ferran

The 2026 edition will also recover the route of the Battle of Flowers along Rambla Ferran, one of the most recognizable points of the celebration. With this program, Lleida will concentrate for four days some of the most multitudinous events of the local festive calendar, with the Seu Vella, the Camps Elisis, and the central axis of the city as main stages.
