Barcelona events this weekend

The coming weekend is the big one of the summer: Festa Major de Gràcia opens on Saturday 15 August with its parade, and for a week (15–21 August) the neighbourhood's hand-built street decorations turn Gràcia into a walk-through art show, closing with the correfoc fire run on the 21st. On an ordinary weekend, the feed leans on markets like Palo Market Fest, sardanes in the squares, and sunset sessions along the seafront at Port Olímpic.

Barcelona exhibitions now

The Galleries tab answers 'what exhibitions are on right now' the same way — synced nightly, closed shows dropped. Currently in the feed: 'the New FuTure' at the Moco Museum, 'Extraterrestres' at CosmoCaixa, 'SOS OCEANS' in the Museu Marítim's Gothic shipyards, 'Animals Invisibles' at the Museu de Ciències Naturals, and guided visits to 'L'assalt de la il·lusió' at the Centre d'Arts Santa Mònica until 27 September.
