Christmas around the shops!

Barcelona’s neighbourhoods fill with music, theatre, dance, children’s workshops and much more over the festive season.

BCN FESTES!
  • Check the programme

Over the 2025 Christmas season, the city's trade associations, together with the Department of Commerce, Restaurant, and Food Services, will be offering an extensive programme of cultural, recreational and artistic activities to ensure everyone is able to enjoy an array of shows and local commerce in all the city's neighbourhoods.

This holiday season, Barcelona will be filled with creativity, music, and street activities full of light and joy, with more than 100 activities to enjoy with family or friends in the shopping hubs of the ten districts.

Enjoy live music with groups such as the Hip Horns Brass Collective, a Barcelona-based brass band that fuses the ancestral sound of New Orleans with the energy of hip-hop, funk and gospel; the Orquestra d'Ermensinde, whose wind instruments will bring emotion and fun; the South Side Strompers, who will have us on our feet and dancing to the rhythm of their soul and groove-packed set; and the Carrie Lewis Band, who will dazzle us with their traditional 1920’s and 30’s-inspired jazz music. The travelling performance piece “Estàs com un llum” (You are like a light) will also be lighting up the streets and shops. Not to be missed!

Put your creativity to the test in the various workshops designed for people of all ages. In the “Vestir la taula de Nadal” (Dressing the Christmas Table) workshop you’ll have the chance to make an Advent table centrepiece using ecological and sustainable materials, and in “Espurnes” (Sparks) you’ll get to make decorations for the Christmas tree by using your imagination and handicraft skills. You’ll also be able to play mini-golf and discover how to look with your hands and listen to the invisible at the “Circus of the Senses”. Join in and have fun with the original numberless musical bingo, where you’ll have the chance to sing and dance. And don't forget Musicals' Choir, a choral group made up of young people where you’ll get to hear the most iconic songs from musicals.

You’ll find all these activities and many more surprises right on your doorstep, in the city’s neighbourhoods. Enjoy the holidays and everything we have prepared for you!
