===Events and festivities===
One of the earliest celebrations in Canillo during January is [[Anthony the Great|Sant Antoni]], in which the traditional markets are celebrated and ''vianda'' is distributed, which is a mountain soup. The ''crema del mai'' (burning of ''mai'') is celebrated to left behind the hard winter: traditionally a spruce fir tree was burned and people in town sang and danced around it until the flames consumed it. The tree is still burning up nowadays, one of those used as a decoration on the public road during [[Christmas]], and theater groups encourage the party for the little ones.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elcami.cat/camipedia/calendari-de-festes-de-canillo|title=Contingut camipèdia - Calendari de Festes de Canillo|website=www.elcami.cat}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elperiodic.ad/opinio/article/28716/a-la-crema-del-mai|title=Torn de paraula - A la crema del mai|website=El Periòdic d'Andorra|date=14 January 2013 }}</ref>

Another very deeply rooted festival is the [[Carnival]], also known as the ''Harlequin Festival'' where the typical costume is that of [[harlequin]], which is made out of clothes and scrolls (bells) and appears after the hanging of the king Carnival or ''rei Carnestoltes''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.festes.org/arxius/arlequinspoliciacarnaval.pdf |title=Els arlequins de Canillo: la policia del Carnaval |website=www.festes.org |access-date=2020-10-26}}</ref>

Already in the middle of the summer, the Canillo Festival is celebrated and began the [[Catalan Sheepdog|Sheepdog Contest]] at the Planells de Mereig, organized by the local government and the ''Association of the Canillo Sheepdog Contest'', as part of the Championship of the Catalan Countries.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://visitandorra.com/ca/agenda/concurs-de-gossos-d-atura/ |title=Concurs de gossos d'atura |access-date=2018-05-11 |archive-date=2018-05-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511214910/http://visitandorra.com/ca/agenda/concurs-de-gossos-d-atura/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
