The first local festival of Casa Vicens

One year later, the Festa Major de Gràcia, the neighbourhood’s local festival, is about to arrive.

Festive Decoration

During the days of the local festival, the House’s garden joins in on the neighbourhood’s festive decorations, aiming to show Casa Vicens as a unique, creative, dynamic and inhabited place where everything is taken care of down to the last detail to satisfy the visitors’ every expectation.

The decoration, which can be seen during the hours when the garden is open free of charge, draws inspiration from the work carried out to restore and renovate the House, with many hands working in order to return the house to its original splendour. The decorations provide a very visual narrative, a dialogue between the hands certain ornamental elements on the façade, creating a scene to entice visitors and invite them to enter into the game of emotion, reflection and enjoyment.
