Europe\u2019s biggest street party (or so we think!), La Merc\u00e8 is back with hundreds of free activities and concerts across Barcelona <\/a>from September 21st<\/sup>\u00a0to 24th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

In case you were wondering, the fiesta celebrates Barcelona\u2019s patron saint,\u00a0who saved the city from a plague of locusts in 1687.<\/p>\n

From castellers (human pyramids), correfoc (fire run) to light shows and fireworks, Barcelona will become a stage for all fun activities.<\/p>\n

For many, La Merc\u00e8 is also the opportunity to discover\u00a0artists from Spain and other countries across the world, performing pop, rock, folk and electronic music on different stages across the city.<\/p>\n
