Have a great Festa Major!

The Josep M. Cuyàs i Tolosa Archive of the Badalona Museum holds countless jewels of great historical and documentary value. Today, August 15th, in occasion of the Festa Major of Badalona, we want to share a very special one. It is a nitrate film, recorded in 35 mm, which shows different acts of the city’s Festa Major in 1926. The film was recovered by the tireless Josep M. Cuyàs, and joined the Museum’s collection, along with the rest of his archive, in 1992 after the death of this Badalonian scholar.

This film is one of the first knowed films of our city. With the aim of making it known, the Museum published it in DVD format together with another 1928 recording made by Carles Nyssen on emblematic buildings in the city. Copies are available in the Museum shop.

Today we invite you to enjoy some fragments of that Festa Major of 1926. Images full of nostalgia that allow us to relive the emotion and joy of our fellow citizens, ready to experience intensely the most important celebration of the festive calendar.

Happy Festa Major to everyone!
