Welcome to Xivarri Barcelona!

Welcome to Xivarri Barcelona, We’re Elena and Rik, two friends who absolutely adore this city and everything it has to offer. Whether it’s the rhythm of live music, the aroma of fresh tapas, or the spark of creativity in an intimate art gallery, Barcelona is always alive with something extraordinary—and we want to share that with you.

We started Xivarri Barcelona because we kept hearing the same question from friends, neighbors, and colleagues;

“What’s happening this weekend?”

With so much going on, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or miss out on something amazing. That’s why we decided to create a weekly round-up that brings together the best events, highlights hidden gems, and helps you discover the magic of this incredible city.

Every week, we hand pick a mix of concerts, festivals, theater, art exhibitions, local markets, food pop-ups, and much more. Whether you’re a expat who just moved here, a local or just passing through, our goal is to make your time in Barcelona as vibrant and exciting as it can be. Think of us as your friendly guides to the city’s heartbeat, helping you navigate its many layers with ease.

What truly drives us is a love for connection—between people, places, and experiences. Barcelona has given us so much, and this is our way of giving back, building a community of people who love this city as much as we do.

So, whether you’re looking for the next big music festival, a cozy comedy night, or the best street food market, Xivarri Barcelona has you covered.

Join us and let’s make the most of Barcelona together—one unforgettable event at a time!
