Fallas Poblenou celebrates today, Saturday 21 March, culminating with the cremà and concerts in Plaça del Patufet

TODAY SATURDAY 21 MARCH! Fallas Poblenou starts at 17:30 with La Mentireta street band, 18:30 parade by Banda La Valenciana, 20:00 CREMÀ, 21:00 Diables Poblenou, 22:00 RumbaySon concerts + PD Diables — Plaza del Patufet. L'Octubre celebrates an adapted Valencian tradition; L4 Llacuna metro is a 7-minute walk away; paella is sold out — arrive early for breakfast/cremà.

The programme starts in the morning with the despertà along Poblenou's rambla and continues with a community breakfast, the Crida and Valencian dances. At midday, the community paella —with a meat or vegetable version— will be one of the central moments, with tickets that tend to sell out quickly.

In the afternoon, there will be children's workshops to create fallas, a balloon release and live music with street bands and parades. The most eagerly awaited moment will arrive at 20:00 with the cremà, followed by performances and concerts that will keep the celebration going into the night.

Organised by the L’Octubre collective, these fallas have become an established key event in the neighbourhood, recovering traditions and adapting them to the local context with strong neighbourhood participation.

This type of event strengthens neighbourhood life and offers accessible leisure alternatives in public space. It attracts both residents and visitors and helps invigorate businesses and social activity in Poblenou. For those looking for something to do this weekend, the day is an opportunity to enjoy popular culture in the street. It is recommended to arrive early for the main activities, especially the community meal, because of high demand.
