La Mercè Fireworks Finale

Expand

The grand finale of the city's festa major is the pyromusical show which lights the sky of Montjuïc with fireworks and fills the air with music.

Perfectly synchronized fire and music are the protagonists of a night in which the people of Barcelona look towards Montjuïc to be surprised once more by a breathtaking fireworks display. This year the event will also feature a very special soundtrack: Sónar will provide the music to celebrate the festival's thirty years of existence. Three decades of history condensed into 25 minutes, for Barcelona to bid farewell to Mercè 2023 while paying tribute to a great musical event that attracts thousands of visitors from half the world with each new edition.

Pirotècnia Igual will be in charge of lighting up Barcelona's night sky with a spectacular and innovative show. Recognized with numerous international awards, this Catalan company has been manufacturing and setting off fireworks for over a hundred years. Its brand has been associated with milestones such as the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games; and it will be featured at this Mercè, where it will join with Sónar to create an unforgettable show.

Celebrated September 22-25, 2023, the La Mercè festival program is packed with things to do and see. But if all the festivities of La Mercè get to be a bit too much, why not take a culture break?

Many of the city’s museums observe the holiday with a jornada de portes obertes (open doors). Check out our interactive map with all the locations that are throwing open their doors for free: Map of Barcelona Museums with Free Entry for La Mercè.
