A neighbourhood opening up to culture

Campanar Obert is an event created to showcase the cultural, artistic and social life of Campanar neighbourhood. Organised by La Cámara de los Libros and Puño y Letra, this second edition invites locals and visitors to explore the area through free activities filling its streets and squares on 12 and 13 September 2026.

It’s not a conventional fair, but an opportunity to wander through Campanar, discover new spaces and meet its key figures: writers, artisans, local associations and projects. The activities are designed so everyone can enjoy them at their own pace, without rush.

What to expect at Campanar Obert

The programme includes:

  • Meet the authors: Book presentations and talks with writers in various spots around the neighbourhood.
  • Live crafts: Workshops and demonstrations by local artisans, where you can see their work and browse their creations.
  • Live music: Concerts in squares like Plaza de la Iglesia (at 12:00) and another at 13:15.
  • Storytelling: A children’s session at 11:00 in Plaza de los Jubilados.
  • Walks and scavenger hunt: Guided tours of the neighbourhood and a scavenger hunt with a prize for those who complete the challenges.
  • Local food: Options to eat or grab a bite at participating local businesses.

All activities are free and require no prior registration. For more details on participating venues, check the Campanar neighbourhood guide.
