From November 29 to January 6, Barcelona will welcome an edition of Christmas at the Port that will begin a week earlier. Once again, the event will expand beyond the Bosch i Alsina pier (Moll de la Fusta), encompassing other piers and areas of the port. This year's edition will be held under the motto The Saltiest Christmas, and for that reason, the lighting of the Moll de la Fusta will be in shades of blue to evoke the sea. In fact you will see a new lighting in both the Moll de la Fusta and the Portal de la Pau.

This year there will also be new attractions aimed at younger audiences and a wider range of activities for families. Christmas at the Port will stand out, as usual, for its commitment to social sustainability: more than 60 social organizations, associations and local schools from neighborhoods near the Port, will participate in the great Christmas event along the coast of Barcelona.

The 6th edition of Christmas at the Port comes full of activities, these are the highlights:
