The Festival de Nadal brings a series of performances to Barcelona each December. The city becomes an open stage, with dance, visual theatre, concerts and contemporary circus appearing in squares, cultural centres and other spaces around the city. Many of the performances are free and accessible, with a focus on local artists. Alongside the lights and seasonal markets, it offers another way of experiencing the city at this time of year, more closely connected to its cultural life.
