3. Introduction Our group has studied and analyzed the different leisure forms and their evolution along time. First of all, we have to know what is leisure. It’s all the activities that have the objective of having a good time. The main leisure sites of Terrassa are “Amics de les Arts”, “Gran Casino”, “Parc Vallés” and some others. One of the most important leisure sites of Terrassa is “Amics de les Arts” which has a great history. Also “Gran Casino” has along history. One of the greats events in Terrassa is the Jazz Festival. The Jazz Festival is the event we are going to study.

4. During the industrial revolution of Terrassa, people didn’t enjoy too much because those times were difficult. The war had just finished and people didn’t have much time to enjoy themselves because they needed to work in the industries and with the money they earn, they could only buy to eat. The only activities that people did was going to ``Gran Casino´´, a building where people could dance, play bingo, play cards, talk with other people, play domino… Nowadays, leisure sites have joined; The union of all the leisure sites with the same objective or the same activity is the called ``associacionisme´´. We’ve studied the different places where young people are associated.

6. We can see that young people aren’t very interested nowadays in being part of an association. 30 years ago, people were much more interested in participating in associations. Clearly, the association which has more members are the sportive. That’s because with these associations, young people don’t have a very serious commitment and this is one the worries of youth people. Nowadays they don’t want a very important commitment with anybody, so the sportive associations make this offer. And this is the part of the leisure we’ve analised and studied. In conclusion we think that leisure has changed a lot along the time.

7. Jazz Terrassa starts when a group of people who likes Jazz music wants to make a festival of Jazz music. This group decided to make the festival 25 years ago and the Jazz festival became very famous. Now the Jazz Festival is one of the most famous events in Terrassa, and because of that some people call Terrassa the city of Jazz. The Beginnings of Jazz Festival
