Wishes for the sea
2024 has undoubtedly been the year of the sea and nautical activities, and that’s why this Christmas we want it to be bluer than ever. The Foundation has prepared a series of activities to bring this color to the holiday season and connect with the sea, beyond the warm months.
Closing concert of the America’s Cup
Passeig de Gràcia, one of the most iconic streets in the city, was the perfect setting to celebrate the closing of the America’s Cup with the concert celebrating the 200th anniversary of Passeig de Gràcia.

Throughout three sessions, to be held at the CCCB on May 24th, June 21st, and July 26th, you’ll have the opportunity to discover new stories and perspectives on sailing and the sea, through screenings and documentaries, accompanied by talks with the most prominent figures in the nautical world.
The Cultural Regata
The Cultural Regatta is the program of cultural, artistic, sports, gastronomic, scientific, and leisure activities launched to strengthen Barcelona’s bond with the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup and also to facilitate its dissemination.
Recalling the Cultural Olympiad of the Olympic Games, the Cultural Regatta also aims to be a space to showcase the dynamism and creativity of the city of Barcelona. From Barcelona Nautical Capital, we have an active role in promoting various activities and generating legacy.
The exhibition you can’t miss!
This is an exhibition that uses the sea as a pretext to talk about maritime culture, its traditions, water sports, technology and innovation, sustainability, and the America’s Cup and its legacy. The exhibition aims to position Catalonia as a nautical benchmark at the national and international levels and bring the sea closer to the people of Catalonia.
Theater show
SalvaMars Cirkus
SalvaMars Cirkus is a theater show for all audiences that shows life at sea and its threats in a comical way, gestural theatre, imagination and surrealism. With a spectacular marine circus tent as scenery and accompanied, on the one hand, by an original soundtrack of classical music, a couple of clowns make us think in a fun way about the problems generated in the sea by plastics, industrialization and climate change.
