Events in Barcelona
In present times, Barcelona is definitely a
cultural metropolis – ‘a cultural crossroad’
– with excellent, carefully organized events and festivals
reflecting this diversity. Some of these include the Festival
of the Three Wise Men, the Sonar Festival,
the International Jazz Festival as well
as the cultural event Forum Barcelona.
A family oriented event, especially ideal for children …
the celebration begins with storytelling and recitals on the
three wise men, followed by a slow parade through the city
streets on wonderfully set up floats and in elaborate costumes.
It is on this day that Spanish children receive presents,
unlike our traditional Christmas in December where presents
are opened on the morning of the 25th.
This festival organizes a whole range of concerts and performances
featuring mainly electronic music such as house and techno.
A great opportunity to see international DJ’s and other
musicians. Experience both sides of the festival: Sonar by
Day and Sonar by Night.

The most famous jazz players come together on the stages of
Barcelona’s well-known international jazz festival.
Some of these jazz greats include Bebo Valdés, Diego
"el Cigala", Janson Mora as well as the Abbey Lincoln
Quartet. However this is also a great place to discover new
talent and also uprising Spanish jazz groups such as La Fábrica
de Tonadas.
Concerts take place in the Sala Luz de Gas, at the Auditorio
Nacional as well as at the Palau de la Música.

At Forum Barcelona a whole range of different cultures are

and activities are offered as a way of bringing culture closer
to people visiting the fair. The Forum is essentially about
