As the Spanish sun prepares to shine on the world of Formula 1, Barcelona announces an exhilarating week-long Fan Festival set to kickstart the fever for the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix. From June 15-22, the heart of Barcelona will beat to the rhythm of roaring engines and cheering fans, leading up to the race weekend at the iconic Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from June 21 to 23.
Unprecedented Access to the Thrill of F1
The festival promises an immersive F1 experience with its dedicated Fan Village, Road Show, and Fans Forum. At Plaça Catalunya, the Fan Village will transform into an F1 wonderland. Here, fans can witness the spectacle of F1 cars up close, experience the thrill of a pit stop, stand atop a podium, and even hold a grand trophy. With shops selling official F1 merchandise, a giant entertainment screen, and evening concerts, the Fan Village is the place to be for any racing aficionado.
A Parade of Stars Through Barcelona's Streets
The Road Show will set the city alight on the evening of June 19. With current F1 stars at the wheel, an adrenaline-fueled procession will weave through Barcelona’s most iconic streets, including the majestic Paseo de Gracia. This special display offers fans a unique opportunity to see their heroes in action, off the racetrack but still in the driver's seat, turning the cityscape into a grandstand.
Drivers, Music, and Fans Unite
The festivities continue with the Fans Forum, where F1 drivers will take to the Fan Village stage for appearances, interviews, and interactions with fans. Accompanied by more live music and entertainment, it's an unmatched opportunity to get closer to the stars of the sport.
A Collaboration of City, Circuit, and Sport
Roger Torrent, the Catalonian Minister of Business and Labour, along with Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya President, declared the 2024 event poised to be the best ever hosted at the circuit. An essential success story, the collaboration between the Circuit, the city of Barcelona, and Formula 1 typifies the fusion of local culture and international sport.
