The April Fair arrives in Barcelona in its 51st edition and, once again, the City of Barcelona will wear flamenco dresses to celebrate this event organized by the Federation of Andalusian Cultural Entities in Catalonia (FECAC). As in previous years, this celebration will be held at the Parc del Fòrum for nine days, from April 26 to May 5.
This year the fair will have more than 100 booths where you can enjoy Andalusian cuisine, music and live flamenco shows. The opening hours will be from Sunday to Thursday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 am, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 am.
The most awaited moment of the whole festival will come on the same day of the inauguration, April 26, with the lighting of the portico at the entrance to the enclosure. This will take place from 9 p.m. in front of the building of the Museum of Natural Sciences of the Forum and access will be free.
