What to do in Barcelona in August 2020

What to do in Barcelona in August - GrΓ cia Festival

Gorka Regidor Leave a Comment

August is the peak of the Summer and the heat is intense. There is no way around it. But the good news is that it is probably the best time to enjoy city festivals with some of the main ones taking place this month. Barcelona in August also offers plenty of outdoor activities and music and it is a great opportunity to enjoy an evening drink at some of the most charming terraces in Europe. It is hot, that’s true, but it is also fun.

Post updated in July 2019. The update with 2020 activities will be published soon.

Events and Festivals in Barcelona in August 2019

Sant Roc Festival at PlaΓ§a Nova (around 16th August)

This is the oldest festival in Barcelona, running since 1589, making this year the incredible 430th edition! Although not as big as other neighbourhood parties, this is actually a lot more manageable as everything takes place around PlaΓ§a Nova. It is located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, just beside the cathedral of Barcelona. On our Gothic Quarter Free Walking TourΒ we always pass through this square and it is always lovely to catch up with some of the celebrations.

The festival is in honour of Sant Roc (Saint Roch) whose statue you can see on the square, always accompanied by his loyal BLUE dog (there is a story behind this dog that I am not give it away now ;-)). As well as the traditional human towers, Giant parades, Sardana dances and fire run, there are some quirky activities that you won’t find anywhere else. It is definitely worth checking the whole programme of Sant Roc Festival 2019Β and taking a look at his short video that shows the some of the highlights that we explain below.Β 

The Cucanya of PlaΓ§a Nova

This is a very unusual horizontal greasy pole that children have to cross from side to side without falling. The rules of the game and the winding up ceremony is a bit complex but you can check it all out on the website of theΒ PlaΓ§a Nova Festival Asssociation. The first time the cucanya game was placed here was in 1884. The one used during the festival dates from 1904 and you can see it in action most days at the square.

The PorrΓ³ Llarg

Maybe you have heard about the traditional Catalan porrΓ³. Or maybe you even have had a go at this unusual wine pitcher with a spout you drink from… but without touching the glass. The porrΓ³ llarg (long porrΓ³) that you will see here is exactly that, a regular porrΓ³ but with a wowing 75 centimetres long spout! This makes it extremely difficult to use but also doubles the fun as opposed to drinking from a regular one. It will be at the square for anyone to try but only on the day of Saint Roc (August 16th).

The Dog Festival

If you like furry pets, you can’t miss this one. As I mentioned earlier, Saint Roc is always accompanied by a loyal dog so all dogs from the neighbourhood are brought here to be greeted on August 17th from 5.30pm. There are also dog training exhibitions for the more energetic ones.

GrΓ cia Festival (14th August to 20th August)

Apart from La MercΓ¨, this is the festival of festivals in Barcelona. The neighbourhood of GrΓ cia is one of the most charming in the city. In mid-August its streets get decorated with the most imaginative creations and, at night, it turns into a big party. Concerts, competitions, human towers, dances… there is space for everything on this not-to-miss activity if you are here in Barcelona in August.

There is too much to do and see so, if you want to know where and when everything will happen, don’t miss our dedicated post for the GrΓ cia Festival 2019.

Sants Festival (24th August to 1st September)

If you weren’t here for the GrΓ cia Festival, don’t worry. The neighbourhood of Sants always start their own party straight after. The streets also get decorated (although not as spectacularly as in GrΓ cia) and the music and dance go on all night.

Like in all festivals, the local Catalan traditions can’t be missed and I strongly recommend attending some of them. The ones that will really blow your mind out are the human towers display (castellers) and the fire run (correfoc).Β Keep an eye on the official website of Sants Festival as the whole programme will be issued just a few days before the date.

Outdoor cinema at CCCB (6th August to 22nd August)

While still recovering from July’s outdoor cinema sessions at MontjΓΌic and Barceloneta, the CCCB offers in August the Gandules’19 programme. Without the backdrop of MontjΓΌic castle and the mosquitoes of Barceloneta beach, the offer here is mainly Art-house movies. This year, 9 films will be screening grouped into 3 themes: Parallel universes and time travel and the overthrowing of rational order. It is a great opportunity to enjoy films like “Donie Darko”, “Twin Peaks” or “Mind Game” that are hardly ever screened.

Summer Music Festivals

Summer is the peak time for being outdoors and enjoying good music. It doesn’t matter if you are into Jazz, Classical music, Techno or Flamenco. BarcelonaΒ offers a big selection of music festivals for all tastes. These are just some of the most popular ones:

Music in the Parks (June, July and August)

Some of the green areas of Barcelona turn into big concert venues at sunset. The closest to the centre is Ciutadella Park but the show goes on in the different parks around the city. Classical and Jazz are the main offering here but you can also find folk, gospel and big bands. It is all free so there are no excuses for not having a relaxed evening listening to good quality music under the stars.

Official programme of Music in the Parks 2019

Brunch in the Park (30th June to 29th September)

Every Sunday during the Summer months, the fans of electronic music have an unmissable date in Barcelona. Brunch in the Park puts together top National and International DJ’s with food trucks to help energize you for all the dancing that takes place. The festival is hosted in the beautiful Jardins de Joan Brossa, on the hill of MontjΓΌic.

When you think of electronic music, night partying and young people come to mind. However, this is a daily event so everyone is welcome, including children. Petit Brunch is an area where the little ones can also have fun with different games and workshops.

Official programme of Brunch in the Park 2019

Mas i Mas Festival (30th July to 1st September)

Something that started as a Jazz Festival 16 years ago, now also offers great quality blues, soul, funk and even flamenco performers. The concerts take place at different venues like the Jamboree Club, Palau de la Musica andΒ Moog Club, while Tarantos will host the flamenco artists. If popular American music is your thing, you are in for a treat.

Cap Roig Festival (12th July to 21st August)

If you are planning to attend any of the concerts here, make it a full day or, even better, stay for a few days to explore the area. The festival takes place in the coastal town of Calella de Parafrugell (1.5 hours from Barcelona) which is one of the most charming villages around. Diana Krall, Ben Harper, Katie Melua and Jamie Cullum are just some of the artists that will perform in 2019’s edition. With the beautiful setting of Costa Brava, I bet you will remember this concert for a very long time.

Official programme of Cap Roig Festival 2018

Barcelona Weather in August

Barcelona in August tends to be hot and humid. With daily temperatures around the 30ΒΊC mark so sun-tan lotion , light clothes and plenty of water are a must. At night, the humidity doesn’t go away but the heat is a lot more bearable. A beer in a terrace could possibly be one of the highlights of the day πŸ˜‰

Accommodation and queues

This is the time when a lot of Europeans take their vacation so expect a lot of families and beach goers. Pre-booking your tickets to skip the linesΒ at the most popular attractions is always recommended anytime in high season. If you are thinking of visiting places like Sagrada Familia, Park GΓΌell or Picasso Museum, don’t forget to pre-book your tickets on the official sites. Avoid the online sites that will charge a high commission. If you prefer to explore the buildings with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, all our Barcelona private tours with licensed guides also include skip the lines.

I hope you found all the advice helpful for your planned visit to Barcelona in August. Maybe I will see you at the meeting point of of our Free Tours in Barcelona or at one of the local festivals or having a beer in a nice cool terrace in the evening. Also, don’t forget to check our comprehensive article on what to do in Barcelona all year round.

We had a wonderful tour of the Gothic Quarter led by Ann-Marie. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. This tour was ideal way to start our first visit to Barcelona. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Lisa was spectacular. She was very knowledgeable, kind and she went at a great pace. She gave us so much information that helped us understand the history of Catalonia but she went further to help us connect to the... culture of Catalonia today. Lisa took the time to answer questions and gave us great tips to make the most of our trip. She also has great recommendations for restaurants, places to see and how to get around. The tour was great and Lisa was really terrific.read more

We took a 2 1/2 hour walking tour of the Gothic quarter with Anne-Marie from Runner Bean tours. She was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about both the city where she lives and the history! Full of... information and details about every site we visited and we heard so much that’s not included in any other trip. Very interactive with the group and put every single person at ease. She was an absolute mine of local information and recommendations at the end - which we personally used for meals and other sites to visit. These guys work on a donation system and be prepared to give them every euro that you feel they are worth. We took two of their tours and they were the highlight of our trip to Barcelona!!read more

I showed up on an earlier day for my city tour and Lisa was nice enough to let me join anyway. Her presentation was both enlightening and fun. She had personal stories and on the spot observations to share which made it... feel fresh. Her diction was very easy to understand and she was pleasant to listen to. Believe me I have been on some tours where the guides had annoying pet phrases like 'alright?' 'um' etc.. that can be tiresome to listen to for 2.5 hours. Lisa took personal interest in her guests and made the effort to talk to us individually whenever possible. Her food suggestions were great. I highly recommend going on her tour!read more

We had a very informative, well researched and extremely interesting tour with Miguel today of Runner Bean Tours. He pointed out interesting facts we would never discovered on our own, not to mention little known... facts. It was highly informative. Do yourself a favor, and sign up for one of the tours. We have been on two now, and we’ll worth the time! You will enjoy Miguel, a very personable person and a great guide. He will make you fall in love with Barcelona.read more

I booked the group tour for the Gothic quarter but obviously due to the current circumstances I was the only one on the tour. Hence, my fantastic tour guide Lisa gave me a private tour and it was super interesting. I... really learned a lot and it's a great way of discovering Barcelona. Highly recommended for anyone who comes to BCN! It's so important to also learn about the history and culture. A fantastic tour. Greetings to Lisa.read more

Miguel was extremely knowledgable and gave us lot of detail and information on each... place and also bits and pieces of the in-between that tied the places together into a whole story!Miguel spent a good amount of time with us and also gave us good local tips for food, shops and such.We would highly recommend Runner Bean Tours!!read more

We were so impressed with our tour. It was fun, and extremely informative. They go by donation and they are worth every penny .My friend and I have been on tours in a lot of cities and this tour ranked amongst our... favorite. We were encouraged to ask questions, and if I ever have an opportunity I would take as many tours from them as they offer. Thank you 😊 💙read more

We had a very short time in Barcelona so to make the most of the time we had, we decided to do a walking tour. I'm so glad we chose Runner Bean Tours. We did the Antoni GaudΓ­ tour with Lisa and thoroughly enjoyed it.... Even our children were engaged throughout thanks to Lisa's gift for storytelling and bringing you on a journey with her tour. Given the current climate in Spain with few foreign tourists visiting, we were in a unique position to enjoy an almost private tour in a very quiet city...an experience we will probably never have the opportunity to have ever again. We enjoyed the GaudΓ­ tour so much that we booked the Gothic tour the very next day and were lucky enough to have Lisa as a guide once more. Again, a wonderful tour delivered in an engaging and really entertaining way. Lisa's knowledge of the history of Barcelona shines through and her passion for this wonderful city is absolutely contagious. Highly recommended for the whole family ♥️👌read more

We had an awesome time on the Barcelona gothic quarter tour with Miguel! Miguel was an amazing guide. He was full of interesting information, and his passion and love for the city and his job made the tour extra... enjoyable. He also gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and drink in the city, and even helped us mark them on google maps. He also took some great pictures for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend runner bean tours. Thank you Miguel for giving us such an insightful experience!read more

We have done a lot of walking tours all over the world and this was by far our favourite. Miguel was very knowledgeable and funny and made this an enjoyable experience. It is clear that Miguel loves what he does and... made sure that we had fun too. There were only 2 others on the tour with us and he made sure we were safe and distanced and everyone wore their masks to make sure we all felt safe and comfortable. I 100% recommend doing this tour - especially if with Miguel if possible! Gracias for a lovely few hours in Barca!! :)read more
