Festa Major de Gràcia (Gràcia Neighborhood Festival) transforms the Gràcia district in Barcelona, Spain each August 15–21, celebrating the neighborhood’s festa major—a week of community pride, street culture, and Catalan traditions. Residents compete to create immersive decorated streets (carrers guarnits), turning lanes into walk-through art sets. Nights bring free concerts, plaza parties, and classics like castellers (human towers) and fiery correfoc runs by “diables,” with pop-up bars and vermut fueling the buzz.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in Barcelona or a Barcelona & Catalonia route—we’ll plan the best decorated streets & nights to go, concert/event timing, neighborhood routing & crowd strategy, tapas reservations, and a stylish city stay near Gràcia.
