About

Cornellà's clown festival, named for the circus clown Charlie Rivel, has run every other year since 1984 and draws clowns from Catalonia, Spain and abroad. Shows fill streets, squares, theaters and a big top across town, from traditional circus clowning to stranger, newer acts. Many street shows are free, so you can catch one on a walk and book a ticketed show for the bigger night out.

Many free street shows, some ticketed
