What you need to know
- Sunday September 13 was the intercultural day, when Parc del Centre filled with food, music and children's shows from the many countries living in Poblenou
- Kids take part rather than watch, in the color party, the hot-chocolate morning and the schools' parade on Saturday September 19
- Fire run on Saturday September 19, then the giants and castellers on Sunday September 20 for kids who dislike sparks and noise
About
Poblenou's neighborhood festival, run by the Coordinadora d'Entitats del Poblenou. Alongside the castellers, gegants and correfoc, there's a long kids' program of games, shows, concerts and parades spread through the neighborhood's streets and parks, and kids join in rather than just watch. The daytime events suit younger children; the fire run is for older kids who like noise and sparks.
