Poblenou celebrates its annual festival from September 10 to 20. For ten days, the streets and squares of one of Barcelona’s most iconic neighborhoods are filled with concerts, activities, and plenty of popular culture.
These popular festivities continue to promote and reinforce the working-class neighborhood identity so characteristic of Poblenou and will feature the traditional correfocs, parades, and giant figure processions.
For ten days, the neighborhood will be filled with residents and visitors eager to enjoy cultural activities, music, and, in short, a good time. These events have been scheduled at different locations and times, which we detail below along with the complete festival program:
