A Full Day of Color and Culture
Every April 23, Barcelona is transformed into a vibrant stage to celebrate the feast of Sant Jordi. With the atmosphere full of music and laughter, the streets become a meeting place for families and literature lovers. If you are looking for ways to share unforgettable moments with your children, here are some proposals that will make your day a special memory.
Shows and activities for all
Live performances are an essential part of the celebration. One of the most prominent shows is ‘Sant Jordi, the Princess and the Dragon’, a fun puppet performance that will take place in La Puntual throughout the month of April. In addition, from April 12 to 20, 2025, the Ars Room will host a lovely version of the legend of Sant Jordi, ideal for children and adults.
A day of creative encounters
On April 23, small artists will have the opportunity to meet illustrators at a special event in the Salmerón Pla. Organized by the Casa Anita bookstore and the Ekaré publishing house, this event will allow children to see their favorite creators and obtain personalized drawings. The hours of this activity are from 10 to 14 h and from 17 to 21 h, an ideal time to grow their imagination.
Creative activities for small artists
If you like art, why not take the opportunity to make crafts related to Sant Jordi? We propose to make paper roses and other fun crafts that you can enjoy with the family. Let your children explore their creativity as they celebrate the tradition.
Museums with free admission
Another way to live the party is visiting the museums of the city that open their doors for free for the occasion. This year, various emblematic spaces will join the celebration, offering an opportunity to learn and explore the rich cultural history of Barcelona.
The Casa Batlló: a sea of roses
As usual, Casa Batlló will be dressed in a spectacular floral decoration. Its facade will be covered with thousands of red roses, creating a visual spectacle that will captivate both children and adults. This tradition not only beautifies the building, it also symbolizes love and culture.
Literature and Music: A perfect combination
The legend of Sant Jordi is a recurring theme in children’s literature. There are a large number of books that reinterpret this story, and it is an excellent opportunity to introduce children to reading. Also, we cannot forget the music! The song ‘Sant Jordi and the princess’ is a popular melody that the little ones will enjoy singing. Here is a fragment of the lyrics that will surely make them laugh and dance.
Final reflections
Sant Jordi is not just a party, it is an opportunity to share special moments with the family, foster creativity and celebrate culture. With these proposals, we hope that your day will be full of smiles, learning and unforgettable memories.
