Main venues
Enjoy the festival
The Eagle, the Dragon, the City Giants, the Serene Dragon and the rest of Barcelona’s festive figures fill the city with celebrations organised by the city’s numerous traditional culture groups.
For thirty years, this restless, edgy, grassroots festival has been attracting young, culturally active, and diverse audiences.
Offers a music programme celebrating social diversity and spotlighting music created in Barcelona. Música Mercè promotes cultural diversity, interculturality, gender equality and the connection between education and culture.
The city’s parks are transformed into giant stages for great circus artists, dancers representing a wide range of styles and actors whose shows are sure to move us. Performing arts take to the streets with the MAC Festival.
