What you need to know
- Sunday is the intercultural day, when Parc del Centre fills 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 World Cup games at passatge Cantí
- The fire run is next weekend, so this weekend stays gentle for children who dislike sparks and noise
About
Poblenou's September neighborhood festival features strong kids' programming including gegants (giant figures), castellers (human towers), and a closing correfoc (fire run). Run by the Coordinadora d'Entitats del Poblenou, the event takes a family-friendly approach with a more accessible tone than similar festivals in the city.
