Poblenou's Festa Major, outstanding activities

Poblenou is a neighborhood in the district of San Martin that for many years had its own life away from the center of Barcelona, which has allowed it to have a special character that is still alive. When the main festival approaches, all the Poblenou entities are actively involved in the organization of the activities that take place during the festival. The offer is wide and varied: music, art and dance, and of course popular culture: giants (with the emblematic parrot of 36), correfocs, castellers, popular meals, children's workshops and sports championships.

The most outstanding activities of the Poblenou Festival 2024 are as follows
