The Fiesta del Tour

The arrival of the Grand Départ serves as the starting point for a programme combining music, popular culture, sport, gastronomy and family activities. For ten days, cycling will mix with concerts, roaming performances, displays and participatory activities that will fill neighbourhoods with a festive atmosphere.

Among the most notable events are performances by Sidonie, Doctor Prats, Suu, Sexenni and Mercabanda, as well as numerous popular-culture initiatives, traditional dances and activities promoted by neighbourhood and commercial organisations in different districts.

One of the major attractions will be Le Tour on Tour: Cultura en moviment, a show float that will travel through different parts of Barcelona accompanied by music, street theatre and entertainment inspired by the world of the French tour. This will be joined by initiatives as varied as gastronomic routes, open-air cinema, sporting activities, children’s workshops and roaming performances that will bring the festivities to every corner of the city.

More than a prelude to the race, La Fiesta del Tour presents itself as a major urban celebration where sport becomes an excuse for sharing culture, music and street life, transforming Barcelona into a truly moving city.
