Taking place in the middle of August, the Festa Major de Gracia is the major festival of the Gracia district in Barcelona and very popular amongst the locals. For the entire week of the festival, the streets of Gracia is decorated with statues, ornaments and lanterns, and the public squares turn into concert venues, with plenty of musical and dance performances on show. At this time, the bars, restaurants and nightclubs are buzzing with energy and excitement, and it’s infectious. Every Barcelona district, also known as a barrio, has its own festival, and they are definitely one of the most authentic, local celebrations to take part in.
