About this event
One of Barcelona's most iconic street festivals kicks off a week of decorated squares, concerts, giants, castellers and correfocs across Gracia. Neighbours compete to transform their streets into elaborate themed installations using recycled materials, turning the whole district into an open-air gallery. Entirely free and famously atmospheric - arrive early to see the decorated streets before the evening crowds.
