The Old Quarter Artistic Festival of Manresa, known as FABA, will hold its ninth edition from May 10 to 16 at the rehabilitated Anònima former electric factory.

This year's event invites the public to explore the newly renovated areas of the building. While some spaces like the small stage have been lost, the festival introduces the Espai a Mig Fer, a dedicated area for creative coexistence where visitors can draw or read in a relaxed atmosphere.

"I want people to be able to choose their own path through the new spaces, as they will be able to do more than one thing at a time."

Eduard Serra · FABA Artistic Director
The musical lineup features La Blackie, Ouineta, and the first Catalonia performance by Rachid B. The festival kicks off on May 10 with Ciutat and local group Las Xoxos, followed by a week of exhibitions, poetry, and contemporary dance.
