Cultural activities

For the third consecutive year, the Vallhonrat Museum is organizing a project focused on writing and creativity, dedicated to 4th-grade primary school students from schools in Rubí.

On Monday, October 26, 2026, the awards ceremony for the 3rd Pere Vallhonrat Short Story Contest will be held at the Regina Carmeli school auditorium. This year, 4th-grade students from the Regina Carmeli school participated, resulting in 3 winners and 4 finalists. The selection of the winners and finalists was determined by a jury consisting of illustrator Elena Boixader, writer and Rubí City Council employee Nuria Julià, and museum director Anna Vallhonrat. The prizes will include keepsakes, puzzles, and diplomas for each of them, as well as several storybooks from the collection.

Free event. It will be repeated in 2027 if schools sign up.

The Sant Galderic celebration takes place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and we will be joined by artist and educator Sandra Bea. We will begin at 10:45 AM with a guided tour, viewing various objects displayed across different rooms; we will reflect on how they have evolved—noting that many no longer exist—and enrich the experience by hearing from those who used them during their childhood. Afterward, Sandra Bea will lead an art workshop that is sure to surprise us. The event will run until 1:00 PM or 1:30 PM. Admission is free. Location: Plaça Montserrat Roig, Rubí.

This year the small festival of Rubí will be held on Saturday, September 19th and the Vallhonrat Museum has prepared an activity by the castellers who are celebrating their 30th anniversary.

The castellers of Rubí were founded in 1996 and are currently the only castellers in the town. The castellers actively participate in activities in the city related to popular and traditional culture.

We will start at 10:45 am offering a guided tour for those who have never been to the museum and those who are passionate about antiques. Once the visit is over, we will take the opportunity to present the museum’s new story entitled “Fem pinya” the 11th in the collection written by Nuria Julià i Fosas and illustrated by Elena Boixader Baraut. At the end, to celebrate the event, the castellers of Rubí will make a pillar in which some colla from the neighboring town will also participate. Throughout the festival you will find Inés Bayo, an artist who will paint faces with the typical colors of the castellers. The activity is open to everyone and free. Plaça Montserrat Roig, s/n Rubí.

Saturday 27 June 2026 at 11am to celebrate the Rubí Festival we have prepared a show by Xavi Demelo who through a peculiar walk through the 6 rooms of the museum will hold a competition of some of the objects telling stories about them. At the end the public will vote for the ethnographic and sexual object of the year. Admission is free and for everyone. End time: 1pm.

Entrance: Plaça Montserrat Roig, s/n Rubí. Free.
