More than 70,000 visitors are expected to atten the next Barcelona Circuit Festival. Events include spectacular parties with world class DJ’s, pool parties and a day and night at one of Europe’s largest water parks with 14,000 partygoers.
Barcelona Circuit Festival is the biggest European gay festival featuring ten sunny days of beach and parties. You should decide early on which parties you want to attend an which to skip. An all inclusive party wristband is the way to go if you want to go to as many parties as possible asn individual parties can cost up to EUR 60.
Getting to the parties
The producer of the event, Matinee, provide bus transport from Plz Catalunya to most of the out-of-town events. Tickets cost EUR 5 approximately. It’s worth noting that most of the biggest parties take place outside the centre of Barcelona so take the bus and enjoy a journey with lots of hot guys.
What time to arrive?
The parties really don’t get busy until after 2am – you are in Spain after all, where guys like to party late! 6am is the closing time, so most local guys will arrive between 2am and 3am. Dinner in Spain takes place after 9pm, drinks and midnight and then partying!
The Waterpark, the Holy Grail of Circuit!
The Waterpark is an essential part of the event. Let’s face it, if you haven’t been to that party, you haven’t been to Circuit! 14,000 gay people take over the waterpark. Head to the middle of the pool and wait for the music to begin. It’s truly amazing!

Circuit Water Park – Facilities
- If you are attending both events, its best to bring a change of clothes. Lockers and showers are available but queues are long so be prepared to wait. The park has a lot of food vendors so you won’t go hungry.
- Circuit Festival Water park is about one hour from the centre of the town so the bus is the best way to visit. Taxi’s can be expensive and hard to obtain later on in the evening. If you want to return home without a queue, leave early.
The other unmissable parties are the Opening Party and the Closing Party, both of which are the most attended. Both sell out in advance so get your tickets early. La Leche and Brazil’s “The Week” party are also recommended.
If you plan on staying for the entire event make the NH Calderon your home base. It is perfectly located, close to the bus stops for the parties and the gay bars and clubs of Eixample.
