San José neighbourhood is getting ready to host a new day of celebration, music and popular culture. On March 21st, 2026, starting at 12 noon, the Plaza Mayor will host the 21st Dances Gathering “Barrio de San José”, a well-established event that turns public space into an open, participatory and vibrant meeting point.
Organised by Danze de San Chusé, the event will bring together different groups representing a living and contemporary approach to folk culture: Danze de Pina de Ebro, Ball de bastons de Cambrils and Chusebinos Folk, who will share the stage with the host group in a morning full of rhythm, audience engagement and festive atmosphere.
Far from being a static proposal, the gathering embraces a dynamic cultural expression in constant evolution, where tradition engages with the present and is reinvented collectively. An invitation to enjoy, take part and celebrate popular culture as something alive and shared.
The programme will continue the following day, Sunday March 22nd, with a more reflective event. At 12 noon, the assembly hall of Centro Cívico Teodoro Sánchez Punter will host the screening of the documentary 20th anniversary Danze de San Chusé, offering a look back at the group’s history and its evolution over two decades.
A weekend to celebrate culture through the street, community and participation.
