#Mercè16
Welcome to our
city’s great festivity!
Folklore, the new technologies, talent,
celebration... These are just some of the
thousand and one faces of La Mercè,
a time when the people of Barcelona,
men, women and children, take to the
streets to celebrate the city’s festa major
festivity. Come and immerse yourself in
the most authentic essence of the Barcelonan spirit at a festival where you can
discover surprising folklore traditions and
rich, diverse festive imagery, as well as
gazing into the sky in wonder at the magic of a magnificent firework display.
La Mercè is, of course, tradition, folklore, but it is also music, circus, dance,
street theatre and much more. Because
La Mercè is a festival of festivals, with a
programme ranging from latest sounds in
pop, rock and electronic music, presented by Barcelona Acció Musical (BAM),
to the most recent productions by companies from Catalonia and around the
world in the Mercè Arts de Carrer (MAC)
street art festival, where the spotlight is
on the new forms which dance, music
and culture in general are taking in our
cities today.
And, this year more than ever, Barcelona’s great festa major is also a festival of
technology. Internet plays an important
role, connecting, in real time, different
Mercè venues to create shows performed simultaneously in several places
and demonstrating the potential of the
new technologies to enable citizen participation.
Because this year’s Mercè, which not
only occupies all the traditional festival
spaces but also extends to new sites
(from La Trinitat Park to the Fabra i Coats Art Factory), is a festival for everyone,
made by everyone. Among other things,
you will see how local people have made
striking contributions to the decoration
and programme at La Trinitat Park, how
an artist invites us to construct great buildings with him in the Ciutadella Park and
how, here and there, your participation
is needed to make the celebrations a
success.
Come and sample this participative
Mercè, one packed with fine artists from
around the world. From our country, from
abroad and, particularly, from Paris, a sister city that has always been a reference
point for the people of Barcelona. This
year, the French capital is the guest city
at La Mercè and will give festival-goers
a glimpse of its many talents.
Come, enjoy and, above all, take part.
Because, this year more than ever, we
are all La Mercè.
The full festival programme is available
at: www.merce.barcelona
The traditional Mercè
Have you ever seen a dragon breathing fire
from its mouth or an eagle performing a dance?
Well, La Mercè will give you a great chance
to see these and other traditional festive
characters. Giants and “big-heads”, castellers
and bastoners all await you. Also, do you
like fire? Then make sure you don’t miss the
correfoc fire run!

circus and street theatre performances. Come and enjoy it at parc de la Ciutadella,
castell de Montjuïc, parc de la Trinitat, Fabra i Coats and the palauet Albéniz.
Parc de la Ciutadella
The Ciutadella Park is a classic venue for
the Mercè Arts de Carrer street art festival.
Aimed at audiences of all ages, the evening
programme at the park features works in
which light is the central element. However, both day and night, you will often hear

Also:
Check out the concerts at the Fabra i Coats site on the
music programme.
An outstanding site, built for the 1929 International Exposition in magnificent gardens,
opens its doors to festival-goers one and all.
Come and visit the building, and stay for the
day if you are a fan of dance, whether traditional or modern, or if you come with children,
because the venue will also host a vast range
of fun activities for the whole family.
There can be no Mediterranean celebration
where sparks do not fly and where there are
no fireworks to fill the heavens with colour.
You can enjoy the display from the beach if
you attend the International Firework Festival,
and you can also attend the show that closes
La Mercè, the Piromusical, one of the most
popular events on the festival programme.
Come and see for yourself if you want to
find out why!
