District 008 was born as a platform that aims to bring together all those shops, restaurants and places that make this District what it is: one of the areas with most cultural activity in the city and to invite the local residents and visitors from other neighbourhoods with a double purpose: to experience the neighborhood from within and to make it known outside of it.

District 008 Urban Festival is a showcase, a sample, a neighborhood tasting and a celebration. It is the moment in which the premises and streets of ‘Extramurs’ are filled with art, music, dance, theatre, circus, gastronomy, poetry, fashion …
