Sant Jordi

📅 Friday 23 April 2027

📍 Location: El Born and across the city — book and rose stalls in every district

For one day the whole city is a bookshop and a flower market, and the stalls reach every neighbourhood, so the Born's own streets fill without your crossing the centre.

Note: 23 April is a normal working day, not a public holiday.

Fet al Born

📅 Saturday 24 – Sunday 25 April 2027, 11am–8pm (the last weekend of April)

📍 Location: Passeig del Born

The day after Sant Jordi, so the Passeig is already busy when the workshops set up.

Note: Born Comerç runs Fet al Born on the last weekend of every month — that is the organiser's rule and it is the programme: no annual list of dates is published. 24–25 April is the last weekend of April 2027. The 11am–8pm hours are the 2026 editions'; the organiser prints none.

WATCH & LISTEN

Bach, St Matthew Passion — Teodor Currentzis, Utopia Orchestra & Choir

📅 Saturday 3 April 2027, 7pm

📍 Location: Palau de la Música Catalana, Concert Hall

The third and last of the Palau's three-hundredth-anniversary Passions, and the first time the Utopia Orchestra and Choir have played in Spain.

Jubilet tota civitas — the basilica's season close

📅 Thursday 22 April 2027

📍 Location: Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, Plaça de Santa Maria 1

Jubilet tota civitas, "let the whole city rejoice": Marta Esteban, Jeremy Nastasi on theorbo and Joan Seguí on organ close Santa Maria del Mar's season in the week the city fills with roses.

Culture in el born

With it's historic and cultural traditions going back hundreds of years El Born, the Height of Barcelona, offers many sites of interest to the culture lover.

Of course merely walking the streets rich in history such as the Passeig del Born is itself an amazing cultural experience.  And the nightlife and bar scene is a form of modern culture.  But for the more traditional experience don't miss the many small art galleries in the district.
