Fira del Moll de la Fusta

The Fira del Moll de la Fusta, also known as Christmas at the Port, transforms Barcelona's historic Port Vell waterfront into a spectacular seaside Christmas celebration from late November through Epiphany. Unlike most Barcelona Christmas markets that close before New Year, this unique market extends the festive season until January 6th, making it the city's longest-running holiday event. Set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea and Barcelona's old harbor, the market features a stunning 65-meter-high Ferris wheel offering panoramic views, a sustainable synthetic ice skating rink, and traditional fairground attractions including a vintage carousel, pirate ship, and children's train. The market showcases over 60 social organizations, associations, and local schools from port-adjacent neighborhoods, creating an authentic community atmosphere. Blue-toned LED lighting evokes the sea throughout the Moll de la Fusta and Portal de la Pau, while nightly light and music shows illuminate the Jaume I cable car tower. Visitors can explore the historic Pailebote Santa Eulàlia ship, enjoy concerts and performances on the main stage featuring emerging artists and music students, and participate in workshops promoting maritime and port culture. The separate 'Sabores de Navidad' gastronomic market near the Museu de Història de Catalunya offers local food specialties. With free admission and activities running daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, this waterfront market provides a distinctive Christmas experience combining Barcelona's maritime heritage with festive traditions.
