# Cap Roig Festival

The Cap Roig Festival is a music and dance festival held in the Cap Roig Gardens, located in Calella de Palafrugell, Spain. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has been celebrated annually, featuring a diverse lineup of national and international artists, such as Sting, Damien Rice and Andrea Bocelli.
The festival takes place on an open-air stage with a capacity of 2,118 seats. It is set within a 17-hectare natural area by the sea, adjacent to the gardens.

## History

The construction of the castle and the gardens began in 1931. It was designed and built by Nicolai Woevodsky and Dorothy Woevodsky.
As of 2001, the first edition of the festival began. The 17th edition, held in 2017, surpassed the previous attendance record with 46,316 viewers, which sold out 20 of the 27 scheduled concerts. The event generates over 15 million euros in revenue and creates 220 full-time summer jobs.
