El Gran Joc de la Castanyada at Baró de Viver

On the last Wednesday of October, the Centre Cívic i Espai de Gent Gran Baró de Viver in Barcelona hosts 'El gran joc de la Castanyada', a playful take on the traditional Catalan Castanyada festival. The event turns the autumn celebration into a game, inviting participants to engage with the season's customs in an interactive way.

Set in the neighbourhood's civic centre, the activity brings together locals of all ages for an afternoon of festive fun. While specific activities are not detailed, the Castanyada theme suggests chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and the iconic 'castanyera' figure, all wrapped in a communal, family-friendly atmosphere. It's a chance to experience a beloved Catalan tradition through a modern, game-based lens.
