Performing arts summer festival · July-August · Barcelona
For sponsor delegations, programmers, partner venues, international brands, critics and attending teams at the Barcelona Grec Festival (Teatre Grec on Montjuïc, Lliure, Poliorama, Condal, Romea and 30+ city venues, July-August), with outdoor programming in the neoclassical Montjuïc amphitheatre, a dance cycle at the Mercat de les Flors, a contemporary circus strand on Paral·lel and a brand-activation operation that combines night hospitality at Poble Espanyol, photocalls on Las Ramblas and season launches at CaixaForum. EUR + 21% VAT via FACe / SII (AEAT) and 24–48 h delivery from the Madrid hub.
The Barcelona Grec Festival is the flagship summer date for Catalan performing arts: around six weeks of programming with more than 80 performances at the Teatre Grec (the 1929 neoclassical amphitheatre on Montjuïc), a strong dance cycle at the Mercat de les Flors, a contemporary circus strand on Paral·lel, live-music programming at the Poble Espanyol, collaborations with the Teatre Lliure and a dozen productions that cross La Rambla, the Born and the Raval across 30+ additional venues. A typical edition attracts 80,000 direct spectators and an industry delegation of European programmers, critics, independent label representatives and guest-festival teams.
For sponsor delegations and international brand teams the operational challenge is to run a multidisciplinary festival campaign in the middle of a Barcelona summer: outdoor programming that overlaps with a heatwave (32-36 °C at Montjuïc), photocalls on La Rambla under hard light, hospitality in marquees at the Poble Espanyol and season launches at the CaixaForum with movement between venues. The brief we usually receive combines linen and organic-cotton staff clothing for the Teatre Grec, bilingual Catalan/Spanish lanyards and credentials for programmers, premium catalogue books and notebooks for the industry market, and a closing gift set with Barcelona artists' guild ceramics for guest producers and international tours.
The Madrid production hub handles the full order and delivers by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to the named consignee in Barcelona — sponsor's office in Madrid or Barcelona, the Institut de Cultura (ICUB) office on La Rambla, Teatre Grec press room, reference hotel in the Eixample or the dressing room set up by the Mercat de les Flors. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours with a pre-arranged appointment, since the festival falls in mid-summer July-August and the AP-7 connecting Madrid to Barcelona carries heavy weekend traffic.
B2B invoices are issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-Community customers with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU customers the invoice is issued without VAT, citing the relevant article of the EU directive.
Linen and organic-cotton polos and shirts in sober colours with two-colour screen-printing or embroidery of the sponsor's monogram, lightweight blazers for the Teatre Grec house team, caps for the daytime Montjuïc operation, thin pashminas for the night hospitality at the Poble Espanyol and canvas aprons for the Mercat de les Flors press booth.
Premium Moleskine notebooks with covers wrapped in handmade Catalan paper, fine-tip pens engraved with the Grec seal, silk fans with minimalist screen-printing of the Montjuïc amphitheatre, organic-cotton tote bags with Catalan screen-printing and linen bookmarks for the printed programmes — 200 to 1,500 units per edition.
Compact power banks with sober branding, USB hubs for the Teatre Grec press booth, foldable wireless chargers for the welcome team, notebook-and-pen sets with screen-printing for European delegates, Catalan critics and national cultural press — 100-300 premium units per strand.
Premium gift boxes with Barcelona artists' guild ceramics (hand-painted plates, tiles), numbered editions of the festival catalogue, trilingual Catalan-Spanish-English packaging, Penedès wine with sober labelling and named-delivery to the Teatre Lliure dressing room, Mercat de les Flors press room or guest producer's office.
The brand operation at the Barcelona Grec Festival is usually coordinated between Madrid and Barcelona: the Madrid production hub handles the full order and delivers by road to the named consignee — sponsor's office in Madrid or Barcelona, Institut de Cultura (ICUB) office on La Rambla, Teatre Grec press room, reference hotel in the Eixample or dressing room set up by the Mercat de les Flors. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours with a pre-arranged appointment, since the festival falls in mid-summer July-August and the AP-7 towards the coast carries heavy weekend traffic.
We keep reserved stock in the Madrid hub for recurring items — linen polos, notebooks and tote bags with generic screen-printing — that we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days. For pieces with personalised embroidery (sponsor's monogram, limited-edition number) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For sponsors with special hospitality pieces (numbered boxes with guild ceramics, gift packs for international tours) we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before the opening premiere because of the delicacy of the artisan piece.
B2B invoices are issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-Community customers with a valid VIES number reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU customers the invoice is issued without VAT, citing the relevant article of the EU directive. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, when the client asks for it, with a photo of the unloaded material.
Historically during July and early August, with the main programming at the Teatre Grec on Montjuïc and around thirty additional city venues. Exact dates for each edition are confirmed in the Barcelona City Council programme and on the festival's website.
Yes, to a named consignee: sponsor's office in Madrid or Barcelona, Institut de Cultura (ICUB) office on La Rambla, Teatre Grec press room, reference hotel in the Eixample, Teatre Lliure or Mercat de les Flors dressing room.
