Children’s Fire Run

Show title: Children’s Fire Run Traditional culture - Barcelona Route: From Passeig de Gràcia/Carrer de Provença to Passeig de Gràcia/Carrer del Consell de Cent Barcelona’s youngest residents have a fire run exclusively for them. It's just as exciting, but at a scale adapted to the little folks involved in it. It has no fire or explosions and is less intense, but still it's anything but boring and audiences should remain attentive at all times. The children's fire run is an initial contact with fire and gunpowder, and it's also the school where the those who will participate in the fire runs in future editions of La Mercè come to learn.

The structure was designed by Daniel Esteban, and it signals the start of the city's fire runs as a unique, distinctive feature of Barcelona's fire tradition. Don't miss the première that will kick off Barcelona's Fire Run (the one for adults).
