What you need to know

  • Hands-on circus workshops, not passive watching; kids learn acrobatic basics from Los Herrerita.
  • Visual spectacles work without Catalan, so language won't block your child's enjoyment of acrobatics and live music.
  • Book ahead now, the free shows and workshops have limited spots, and Llar has its own €6 ticket.

About

CaixaForum stays open until 11 pm for a night of circus and play, part of its July summer Wednesdays. From 6.30 pm the whole building fills up. Los Herrerita run drop-in circus workshops in the entrance patio and the modernist streets upstairs until 9 pm, there are free ukulele sessions through the evening, and LOOP! gives kids under 5 a sensory play space with short sessions every 45 minutes. The shows build as the night goes on: ¡Arriba!, comic acrobatics from José Luis Redondo at 7 pm, Gota at 8 pm, a clown and visual magic piece that needs no words (ages 6 and up), and Llar at 9 pm, an inventive juggling show built around wood (ages 5 and up). In between, Stradixie's Band roams the building playing swing at 6.30 and again at 10 pm. The Chez Matisse and Desenfocado exhibitions stay open until 11 pm too, with a calm space for when someone needs a breather. Entry is €6; the Llar juggling show is a separate €6 ticket.
