Opening celebration for Parc de les Glòries
Barcelona gains a new green heartbeat right in the city centre. On Saturday 26 April, Parc de les Glòries officially opens its doors, as it should: with a great celebration designed for local residents to discover and make this new space their own, a space that will transform urban life.
About this event
Between 10:30 and 18:00, the park will become an open stage with activities for every taste and age: live music, creative workshops, giant games, storytelling, magic shows and even an escape street.
The Umbráculo will host Ambauka concerts for younger children and Todos los Gatos son Pardos in tribute to Gato Pérez to close the day with a Mediterranean rhythm. In the Ágora Berta Cáceres, stories and puppets will invite visitors to enjoy tales in the open air, while the Clariana will fill with games for the whole family.
In addition, a photography exhibition will make it possible to look back and trace how the Glòries have changed over the years, from a traffic junction to a new green lung.
Organisations and facilities in the area, such as the Disseny Hub, the Mercado de los Encantos, La Farinera and the Tram, are joining the celebration with special activities.
This is how the new life of Parc de les Glòries begins: a place to stroll, play, meet and breathe in the middle of the city. Because Barcelona is not only built; it is also celebrated.
