The Circuit Festival will be held from 6th – 16th August 2020 in and around Barcelona<\/a>. It’s an immense gay festival which attracts fans of sea, sun and fabulous fun.<\/p>\n

Circuit Barcelona: Europe’s biggest LGBT festival<\/h2>\n

\nCircuit is a fairly recent addition to the festival scene, launched in the late 2000s to fill a gap in the LGBT-oriented festival market.<\/p>\n

It’s an international festival, attracting visitors from all over the world – and where better to hold it than Barcelona? On top of being the gay capital of Europe, the city also offers exceptional cultural heritage, high-end gastronomy, beaches, great shopping and a fabulous climate. A winning combination!<\/p>\n

The festival is now Europe’s largest LGBT event, attracting over 70,000 participants each year. Ready to join the crowds?\n<\/p>\n

Circuit Festival: 11 days of non-stop partying<\/h2>\n

\nThe Circuit Festival goes on for 11 days, making it one of the longest events of its type. A whole host of activities and evening events are organised every day, as you can see from the official festival programme<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Water Park events<\/h3>\n

\nThe Water Park events are one of the most iconic aspects of Circuit, and are held at Illa Fantasia, in Vilassar de Dalt.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • There’s a special bus service laid on for the festival. Allow up to 75 minutes for the journey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Buying tickets for Circuit Festival 2020<\/h2>\n

    \nThere are two options for buying tickets: you can pick and choose from the list of events, or buy a combined pass for the whole festival. If you’re planning on going to several different events, we recommend getting the pass, which also comes with certain perks:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    • An official T-shirt and welcome pack<\/li>\n
    • Priority access to evening events<\/li>\n
    • 4x free entry to gyms in the DIR chain (some of Barcelona’s best-known gyms)<\/li>\n
    • 10% off at participating retailers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Getting your tickets<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • We recommend buying your tickets or passes online in case they sell out before you get there.<\/li>\n
      • Once you’ve paid, simply print your voucher and present it at the Welcome Point, along with an ID document, to get your wristband.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Festival Pass: conditions of use<\/h3>\n

        \nThere are certain rules to bear in mind when buying a pass for the whole festival:\n<\/p>\n

          \n
        • You’ll need to keep hold of your wristband for the full duration of the festival.<\/li>\n
        • If your wristband is lost or damaged, it will cease to be valid, and you won’t be entitled to a refund.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Circuit Bus<\/h3>\n

          \nThere is a bus service that leaves from Plaza Catalunya (in front of the Hard Rock café) and takes you directly to the festival. It’s very practical to save time on your trips!\n<\/p>\n

          Useful information<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Entry is strictly adults-only. You may be asked for proof of age.<\/li>\n
          • The festival is wheelchair-accessible.<\/li>\n
          • The festival is extemely popular, and long queues are possible. Try to arrive early if you want to get into events without having to wait.<\/li>\n
          • A cloakroom is available at all events.<\/li>\n
          • Food and drink may not be brought into Circuit events.<\/li>\n
          • The festival is “hetero-friendly”.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
