Festa Major De Gracia

This summer Festa Major De Gracia takes place in Barcelona, Spain's capital city, primarily in the Gracia area. On this day, almost the entire neighborhood comes together to celebrate the festivities and compete for the title of most beautiful and distinctively decorated street! Many consider the Gracia Event to be Barcelona's prettiest, most festive, and most hospitable street festival.

The Gracia festival lasts five days and features many great Catalan traditions, as well as a full schedule of performances and activities that bring the streets of Gracia to life. The festival takes place in Barcelona's Gracia neighborhood, which is 20 minutes on foot from the city's central plaza, Plaça de Catalunya, in the direction of the city's hill range to the north-west.

Festa Major De Gracia is not unusual for each of the district's streets to take the competition seriously and put up very spectacular displays. The decorations in the district are all different and colorful, making for a dreamlike experience. During this period, many street sellers and performers set up shop on the streets, adding to the bustling ambiance of the Gracia district.
