The Fira Mercat Modernista de Canet de Mar is an annual celebration that turns the historic centre of this Maresme town into a living postcard of the late 19th century. Over the course of a weekend, locals and performers bring the past to life in period costume, with craft stalls and demonstrations of traditional trades filling the streets with atmosphere. The fair is a collective performance in which everyday heritage takes centre stage. It is a sensory celebration, transforming local shops into an authentic, warm and immersive experience, all steeped in modernista style.
This is good to know
The event celebrates the modernista legacy of Lluís Domènech i Montaner, a key figure in the Canet de Mar’s history and architecture.
Parades in period costume, street performances, traditional craft demonstrations and family-friendly activities bring everyday life from over a century ago vividly to life.
Visitors can also take guided tours of the Casa Museu Domènech i Montaner, follow architectural trails or explore the cemetery – a hidden gem of local heritage.
