The carrillón's melody is played daily at the Palau de la Generalitat. On certain dates, such as during the Christmas holidays and especially on December 26th (Saint Steven's Day) and January 5th, the carrillón dresses up for the occasion to offer a special repertoire. The Carillon of the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya was built in the Netherlands by the Petit y Fritsen house in 1976 and was restored in 1991.

The concert is free, but reservations are required. Reservations can be made up until the Thursday before the concert (unless all seats are reserved beforehand). Access to the Palau is through the door on Carrer de Sant Honorat, from 45 minutes before the start of the concert.
