Do I need to arrive early to get a good spot?

It's a regular neighborhood street with no seating, so people stand along it. Arriving 10-15 minutes before the start gets you a spot near the front.

What if my kid gets bored halfway through?

Each performance runs short, so if one act isn't landing, the next one starts soon. The acrobatics and juggling tend to hold kids' attention better than the comedy bits, depending on their age. You're standing on a street, so you can always step away and come back.

Is there anywhere to grab food or a drink nearby?

It's a residential neighborhood, so don't expect a food court. Bring water and a snack, especially on the warm evenings. There are bars and cafes within a few blocks, but plan ahead rather than count on them.

About

The Sant Martí Circus Festival fills one neighborhood street with about ten short acts: juggling, balancing, acrobatics and physical comedy, with a roaming brass band in between. Kids stand right beside the performers and can drift off and come back between acts, which makes it an easy first circus for small kids.
