The Festival of the Dreta de L'Eixample neighborhood in Barcelona is imbued with modernism, and it could not be otherwise: modernism is a characteristic feature of the area's architecture. One of the most popular activities of this Festival is the Modernist Fair, which this year celebrates its sixteenth edition. This fair is already a prominent activity in Barcelona and every year it has more visitors.
As in most major festivals, a parade is organized with dancing giants, big heads, popular meals, sports competitions, children's workshops, concerts and dances, exhibitions, theater and cinema; all this, with the participation of entities, musical groups and other organizations of the district. The Festival of the Dreta de L'Eixample neighborhood has been organized since 2004.
The Modernist Fair
The fair takes place on Bruc Street, between Diagonal Avenue and Consell de Cent Street, and in the central lane of Diagonal Avenue, between Bruc Street and Girona Street. At the fair you can find objects, gastronomic products, dresses, music and decorative elements of the time. The specific program of the fair also includes demonstrations of ancient crafts, car exhibitions, children's games and guided routes, among other proposals.
