Celrà Living Nativity 2026

The Experience: A living nativity scene since 1989

In 1989, Carme Martí and Pep Camps, together with a group of enthusiasts, created the first performance. Since then, the event has continued to grow. One of its defining features is the route, which changes every year as new scenes are added throughout the old town, combining period costumes with live and recorded music.
