This year is the 45th Grape Harvest Festival of Sitges and it’s dedicated to Cantabria (northern spanish region).

Each year, the festival is dedicated to a specific country or region and a series of personalities are invited from these areas as guests, attending the various acts accompanied by the Torres family.

The Festa de la Verema takes place mid-September, right in the middle of the grape harvest season in the Penedes region - adding to the event’s appeal.

Some of the events, amongst others, are:

- The election for the festival queen or “Pubilla major” from among 12 “pubilles” presented by the different organisations from the town of Sitges.

- Grape treading and barrel carrying contests, recalling the essence the grape harvest’s origins, when the wine making ritual was a festival for both family and friends.

- 1st Harvest Festival Food & Wine Show

- 1st Children's Harvest Treasure Hunt
