Your guide to the best of the concerts, parades, special events to celebrate the festival's bicentennial, and other festivities during Gràcia's big neighbourhood party, from August 15 to 21
Editor's note: Following the terror attacks in Barcelona on the evening of August 17, some of the events during the remainder of the Gràcia festival have been cancelled.
The barrio of Gràcia throws Barcelona's most popular Festa Major (basically, a big street party that goes on for days and days) of the year. A huge attraction is the effort the neighbours put in to decorating their streets for bragging rights of having done the best job. A tip: Wander the streets during the day to see the most decorations and avoid the sometimes overwhelming crowds at night. It's also best to check out the street dressings earlier in the week in case the elements or over-excited revellers disturb the works of art. There's also a packed programme of concerts, events and activities, so to help you out, we've made a selection of our favourites. Get over to Gràcia and enjoy the fun and festivities any or all of the seven days of the festival.
