The Witches' Dance of Viladrau

Viladrau is known as the town in Catalonia where the most witches were executed!

Since 1997, All Saints' Night begins on the weekend after the Viladrau Chestnut Fair, October 31st. On that date, Viladrau commemorates one of its most tragic historical episodes: the Witch Hunt. This tradition is a reminder of the injustices of the past and a way to keep the memory of those events alive.

The story goes that it all began at a Witches' Meeting held in Sant Segimon on All Saints' Night in 1617. Today, this event continues to be celebrated in the heart of the municipality, becoming a must-see for locals and visitors alike. The community of Viladrau comes together to remember and celebrate its history in a festive and cultural way.

Attendees can enjoy a unique experience that will transport them back in time, with performances that captivate both adults and children. The magic of the night, along with the creativity of the artists, makes each edition special and unforgettable.
