On the second weekend of August, the Carballeira de Zas is filled with music, tradition and coexistence with the celebration of the Festa da Carballeira, one of the most recognized folk festivals in Galicia and organized by the Castro-Meda Association in collaboration with the Zas City Council. This event, with more than 40 years of history, has transformed the municipality into an essential meeting point for lovers of roots music, both Galician and international.
The spirit of A Carballeira goes beyond the concerts: it is a space of brotherhood, where neighbors, visitors and musicians live together under the centennial trees, sharing culture, gastronomy and partying. In addition to live music, the festival offers parallel activities such as workshops, vermouth sessions, parades, free camping area and services for the public, making it an event open to all generations.
Over the years, the festival has been gaining prestige and has consolidated itself as a reference event in the Galician cultural calendar, capable of attracting more than 7,500 people who make Zas, for a few days, the international capital of folk. Some of the best bands and artists of the Celtic and European folk scene have passed through its editions, making A Carballeira a unique experience that combines tradition and modernity.
