Barcelona residents and visitors planning for the city’s late-August neighbourhood festivals can now note consecutive dates for Gràcia and Sants. Published 2026 festival listings place the Festa Major de Gràcia from Saturday 15 August to Friday 21 August, followed by the Sants festival from Saturday 22 August to Sunday 30 August.
The dates matter for people arranging local activities, visits or travel during the two celebrations. The supplied listings confirm the calendar but do not provide programmes, heat-safety measures, road changes or transport arrangements.
Gràcia festival runs from 15 to 21 August
The Gràcia festival is scheduled to last one week. A published listing says neighbourhood associations compete to decorate streets, a defining feature of the annual event.
- Gràcia: Saturday 15 August to Friday 21 August 2026.
- Sants: Saturday 22 August to Sunday 30 August 2026.
- Sequence: the Sants dates begin the day after the listed end of the Gràcia festival.
Sants follows immediately after Gràcia
The Sants festival is listed as running for nine days, from 22 to 30 August. The available source text gives no further confirmed details of individual events or street arrangements.
Residents and visitors can use the confirmed dates to plan for the two festivals. Anyone needing programme details, access information or weather-related advice should check the organisers’ published channels when those details are issued.
