The Mercat de Música Viva de Vic is an annual festival that transforms the city into the centre of live music. For a few days in September, Vic pulses with rhythms flowing through squares, theatres and tucked-away corners. Creators, programmers and audiences come together to celebrate bold projects and fresh sounds. Nearly a hundred performances across diverse genres connect local talent with the international scene and keep the city’s music heartbeat alive. It is more than a festival: it is a meeting point that nurtures new audiences and sparks new initiatives. Here, music is not simply presented – it is experienced.
This is good to know
The festival was not created to sell records, but to connect musicians with industry professionals.
Over the weekend, Vic comes alive: three open-air stages (Plaça Major, Sucre and Catedral) turn the city into a vibrant, accessible celebration of music.
The programme offers the chance to explore music from Catalonia, Spain, the Mediterranean basin and beyond, with performances ranging from jazz to pop, folk to flamenco.
Dedicated professional spaces, showcases and premieres bring together the Catalan, national and international music industry.
