The Patum de Berga (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈtum də ˈβeɾɣə]), or simply La Patum, is a popular and traditional festival that is celebrated each year in the Catalan city of Berga (Barcelona) during Corpus Christi. It consists of a series of "dances" (called Salts) by townspeople carrying mystical and symbolic figures and accompanied either by the rhythm of a drum—the tabal, whose sound gives the festival its name—or band music.
