Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the annual celebration of the Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB). Traditionally held on the first non-holiday Friday of May, it is organized by the faculty’s own students and brings together the entire FIB community (students, professors, administrative staff and ICT staff).

Each year, a variety of activities take place throughout the day. For example, in the morning there are sports tournaments; at midday participants organize themselves into groups and each prepares a paella (in honor of the festival’s symbol, Mrs. Shrimp); in the afternoon there are contests, gymkhanas, and live music begins. Live performances by different musical groups fill the heart of the night. The FIB student associations play a very important role in organizing all the activities and, therefore, in the success of the festival.

The festival takes place around the FIB square and lasts all day, from 10:00 a.m. until approximately 2:30 a.m.
