El Clot-Camp de l’Arpa Festival 2026 with Kids: Children’s Programme, Giants Gathering, Jugantots and Fire Beasts

Who makes the festival happen

It is organised by the Federació d’Entitats del Clot-Camp de l’Arpa together with dozens of local associations. The children’s programme comes from the Diables del Clot and Gegants del Clot (part of the Orfeó Martinenc’s culture section), the Camp de l’Arpa residents’ and shopkeepers’ association, the Eix Clot, Cihuatl and Red Global México, the Club Orientació Catalunya, the Mercat del Clot stallholders and the Centre Cultural La Farinera del Clot. Five youth groups celebrate anniversaries this year: Esplai Xino-Xano (25), Agrupament K2 (45), Esplai Kasperle and Agrupament Terra-Nova (50) and Esplai SCV El Clot (60). The poster is by Aimar Morales.

The funfair is up in the air

When the programme went to print, the funfair still had no site: building works in several local spaces have made it hard, nearby alternatives are being looked at (even in another district) and there may be no funfair this year. If it does go ahead, the Festa Major logo box in the printed programme gives you 2-for-1 on rides from Monday to Thursday.

🎪 Keep the cut-out and watch the Federació’s website and social media (clotcampdelarpa.cat) for news. The printed programme is available at La Farinera del Clot and the Casal de Barri EAMP.

Fire beasts, correfoc and fireworks: what suits little ones

The 2026 programme has no children’s correfoc. The most child-friendly fire event is the Fire Beasts Race on Friday 30th on Consell de Cent (between Meridiana and Independència): beasts on display at 5 pm, children’s activities and snack at 5.30 pm, and the race at 7.30 pm. On Saturday 7th at 8.30 pm, the “Barcelona 2077” fire show in Parc del Clot. On Saturday 14th, Picafoc at 8 pm in Plaça del Mercat and the 49th correfoc at 8.15 pm, from Plaça de Carme Montoriol to Plaça del Mercat. On Sunday 15th at 8.30 pm, the closing fireworks in Parc del Clot.

🎪 The programme’s correfoc advice: cotton clothes with long sleeves and trousers, a cloth hat and sports shoes that hold the foot firmly; firecrackers are banned. At the fireworks, keep to the marked safety areas.

Accessibility

The programme uses icons to show each event’s access measures. Among the plans for little ones, the Fire Beasts Race and the schools’ dance show have toilets for people with reduced mobility, and Rock per Xics has an accessible area and a hearing loop. The opening speech and versots on Sunday 1st in Plaça de Valentí Almirall have a sign language interpreter and reserved space.
