The Carmel neighborhood of Barcelona will once again experience, on July 4 and 11, two nights of music, culture, and neighborhood gathering with a new edition of the Karmela Fest, which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary. The festival reclaims public space as a meeting point for residents, with a program that combines concerts, activities, and cultural and popular proposals.
Over two days, the Karmela Fest proposes sharing, dancing, and celebrating the neighborhood with a program that, according to the organization, goes beyond a traditional music festival. Among the activities will be bingo by GHATT and AEIG El Carmel, with the participation of MUVAS, batucada, manifestos, DJs, and different initiatives linked to the neighborhood network.
