Festa Major de Gràcia 2024 - Gracia Festival.

The biggest street festival in Barcelona is the Gracia festival every year in mid August called the Festa Major de Gracia and also often called Fiestas de Gracia. The Festa Major de Gracia dates are always the 15th August to 21st August. This is a street festival that takes place in the oldest parts of the Gracia district in Barcelona. In the 2024 edition 23 Gracia streets will be decorated by residents. There is a full calendar of activities during the festival. Many activities are mostly for local residents, but tourists and visitors are more than welcome to visit the decorations and public concerts and parades. The Festa de Gracia is about Catalan traditions and it's an opportunity to experience wonderful parades, giants, human castle building and correfoc fireruns, but most of all it is a shining example of community spirit which also welcomes visitors. It's authentic, fun, joyous, colourful festive! Very crowded and hot, but worth seeing.
