What you need to know
- Watch from the riverbank, where kids can cheer on the wildly decorated homemade boats; crews must be 18+, so this is a spectator day for little ones.
- Late-night concerts run until dawn, so plan daytime water activities with younger kids and save the evening shows for teens.
- Free parking at the descent stops, easing the logistics of a three-day riverside festival.
About
The Transsegre is a three-day water festival centered on a non-competitive river descent where participants navigate homemade boats down the Segre. The 41st edition features live music across multiple nights, including performances from Els Catarres, Claquera, and local artists, alongside DJ sets that run into early morning hours. Water activities, family spaces, and concerts fill the Parc de la Transsegre throughout the weekend.
