The Schedule
DATE Event Venue Saturday 28 Nov Loco Bongo Barcelona Sala La Paloma, Barcelona Saturday 26 Dec Loco Bongo Barcelona Sala La Paloma, Barcelona The Venue
- Sala La Paloma – A historic dance hall and events venue in the El Raval neighbourhood of Barcelona, part of the Ciutat Vella district.
- This area is known for its vibrant street life, cultural diversity, and rich history.
- La Paloma is celebrated for its beautiful architecture, ornate decorations and classic 19th-century ballroom aesthetic.
- The venue is a 6-minute drive or 10-minute walk from the gay bars of Eixample.
- Discover the best gay bars, clubs, restaurants and hotels with our Gay Barcelona Guide.
Where to go before the party?
- Start in Gaixample, Barcelona’s gay quarter in Eixample, for drinks before heading to Sala La Paloma. Pick one or two stops rather than squeezing in a full bar crawl.
- Elvira Café, Consell de Cent 275, brings the camp with gothic décor and a queer monster theme.
- Bacon Bear Bar, Casanova 64, Great for beers and bears but welcome to all with a friendly vibe.
- For dining options before the show, head to the restaurants around Carrer del Parlament in Sant Antoni, then continue towards La Paloma in nearby El Raval.
Outdoor Venue – Summer and Pride Venue 2027
- Hosts the Summer and Barcelona Pride “Night” Edition
- Built for the 1929 International Exhibition, Poble Espanyol is an open-air architectural museum set on Montjuïc hill.
- Inside, you’ll find a winding network of replica streets, courtyards, and plazas from across Spain – from Andalusian whitewashed alleys to Catalan Romanesque cloisters.
- At night, it transforms into a striking venue with open-air stages, courtyards lit with fairy lights, and long stone corridors that echo with music.
- It’s hosted everything from electronic festivals to flamenco shows, and the acoustics are surprisingly good for a site this historic.
- There’s room to breathe and dance, and the elevated location gives a sense of being somewhere apart from the city — while still right in the middle of it.
