Event

Barcelona Vive México Festival

On 13 and 14 September, Poble Espanyol will be transformed into a piece of Mexico to host the 15th edition of the Barcelona Vive México Festival. For two days, the city will celebrate Mexican independence with a programme combining tradition, spectacle and flavour, consolidating its position as Europe’s largest celebration of Mexican culture.

About this event

The event, promoted by the Mexican-Catalan Cultural Association (MEXCAT), expects to bring together more than 23,000 people. One of its most eagerly anticipated moments will be lucha libre, with bouts between Mexican and international wrestlers that will bring the audience an atmosphere as vibrant as that of the country’s great arenas.

But the festival is much more than a ring: the stages will be filled with live music, mariachis and traditional dances, while visitors will be able to explore a food market that invites them to travel through Mexico via its flavours, with tacos, antojitos and typical dishes from different regions.

Designed for the whole family, Barcelona Vive México opens its doors to adults and children alike, with free admission for children under 4. Advance tickets can be purchased from Atrápalo with a 17% discount.
