Circuit Festival Fires Up Barcelona

The Barcelona Circuit Festival promises to be a weeklong gay and lesbian celebration packed with culture, clubbing and certainly more than a fair share of sultry and sexy men and women. The Circuit Festival runs August 6-17 while the Girlie Circuit runs August 12-17.

Organized by The Matin�e Group, which has been promoting Barcelona nightlife for the past 15 year, the Festival has gained international recognition and partners with local organizations. The Festival's last edition had more than 71,000 attendees from around the globe, offering more than 50 parties and daytime activities.

This year's theme, "The Giant Returns," pays homage to the large number of attendees and growth of the Festival and will feature 60 international artists.
