The Sant Pere Festival reclaims the maritime memory with cinema, habaneras and the traditional suquet
The Roses Fishermen's Guild and Roses City Council will celebrate a new edition of the Festival of Sant Pere, patron saint of fishermen, on July 1st and 3rd. The program highlights the memory and maritime culture of Roses with various activities and maintaining the fish suquet, the habaneras and the popular revetlla dance as protagonists.
The celebration will begin on Wednesday, July 1, at 6:30 p.m., at the Teatre Municipal de Roses, with the screening of the documentary Aiguallum Lamparo , a short film dedicated to the last spider web in Roses. The session will be completed with a subsequent round table that will allow us to delve deeper into the history and evolution of the local fishing world, as well as pay tribute to the people who have been part of this profession closely linked to the identity of Roses.
The festival will continue on Friday, July 3rd in the parking lot of the commercial wharf, the new venue for the celebration. Between 11 am and 12 pm, there will be a singing of habaneras, which will give way, at 12.30 pm, to the traditional fish stew tasting prepared by the Roses Fishermen's Guild. Tickets for the tasting, priced at €5, can be purchased the same morning from 9.30 am.
The day will culminate at 10 p.m. with a light show and, immediately afterwards, dancing by the La Montecarlo orchestra, to end a day that will combine heritage, gastronomy and maritime tradition, keeping alive Roses' historical link with the sea and fishing.
