Children’s Fire Run
About the event
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.

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).

No alcohol or glass: If you are thirsty, drink non-alcoholic beverages and avoid glass bottles or cups, as broken glass poses a danger.
