Els Pastorets returns to Barcelona in 2026 with shows in iconic neighbourhoods that continue beyond New Year. If you haven't yet experienced this deeply rooted Christmas tradition, there's still time to pick a theatre and date to enjoy it with your family.

From today, 2 January, these are the performances still on the bill:

Els Pastorets remains an unmissable event to close the Christmas holidays in Barcelona and to experience, once again, a tradition that brings together neighbourhoods, families and generations.
