Hello! I'm Josep Domènech, director of the Barcelona Gospel Choir, musicals, modern music, and vocal technique.
Would you like to learn to sing? In a choir? Gospel? Musicals? Modern music? Learn vocal technique? Do you dare? Or maybe you already sing and want to continue learning. Join our vocal family at the Barcelona Gospel Choir!
We are a group of about 100 people who rehearse Monday through Friday at Calle València 84, Unit 1. Each day we offer 2 separate classes:
Monday: 8:15-9:45 PM Gospel
Wednesday: 8:15 PM - 9:45 PM Musicals
Thursday: 8:15 PM - 9:45 PM Gospel
You decide how many rehearsals you want. You can come one, two, three, or every day. Up to 25 rehearsals per week!
Flat price: €45 per month. You can join any day of the month; you only pay the proportional part.
Each rehearsal begins with a warm-up, then we work on vocal technique and finally repertoire. We usually start with new repertoire, and the end of the rehearsal is for reviewing and leaving with high energy.
The first rehearsal is FREE. After that, you choose how many days you want to come.
If you're up for it, write to me. You can also visit our website [www.coralgospelbarcelona.com](http://www.coralgospelbarcelona.com/) to get to know us better. And if you're too shy to call or introduce yourself, you can join our WhatsApp group here.

Meditación, Té y Tertulia. Actividad gratuita
La Meditacion es la clave para conseguir paz interior.
Cuando nuestra mente está en calma, dejamos de preocuparnos y podemos disfrutar de una felicidad real cada vez más duradera.
Aunque las condiciones externas no sean favorables, si tenemos paz mental, las podremos afrontar con una actitud más positiva y constructiva, lo cual nos ayudará a tomar mejores decisiones. Además mejoraremos nuestras relaciones y conectaremos más con los demás.

Circle Song: Improvised Body Music
**Invitation**
**We are the instruments.**
A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play.
This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way.
Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions.
*"We are doing something that is so human and so needed, something that we've forgotten." - Igor, circle participant May 2025*
Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next.
**This event is donation-based. What does this mean?**
It means pay if and what you can, so that everyone can join. It also means spreading the word and bringing your friends to keep this going strong!
If you think your company, organisation, team, or event could benefit from a similar experience — please reach out. That's how we sustain it in the long run.
**Doors close at 18.45**
[Join the WhatsApp community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IEKLeWAAIxP0I2MFUaSP1c?mode=gi_t) to contact the organisers and stay up to date on all circles!
**About Matteo (facilitator):**
Matteo is a creative facilitator who uses embodied practices — music, theatre, play — to spark connection and joy. He has spent the last seven years working with Greenpeace and organising the Climate Justice Camps, a global gathering of thousands of young people from around the world. He is a trained Música do Círculo leader\*.\* *[www.matteodevos.com](http://www.matteodevos.com)*

Impact of Urban Heat on Migrant Communities in Europe
As we experience unprecedented heat this summer, have you ever wondered how some of the cities most vulnerable people are doing?
Migrants across European cities are highly vulnerable to heatwaves and higher temperatures due to structural inequalities and historical exclusion - for example, they might be working in jobs that require them to be exposed more to the heat such as in construction, food delivery, etc; or live in housing that are less heat-prepared.
In this session, we will hear from Fizza, a PhD Researcher at ICTA-UAB, about her research using feminist and participatory methods, that seeks to understand how urban heat impacts every day wellbeing of migrants from the Global Majority. Fizza will share findings from the workshops in Athens, Greece with migrant communities, bringing forth perspectives from women and queer migrants who are impacted disproportionately. As a group, we will also discuss how these heat impacts translate to the context of Barcelona and how community knowledge can help build more just, inclusive and heat-resilient cities.
**We kindly ask for a donation to help cover the groups' meet-up annual subscription of 183.26 euros and support the venue. Please feel free to give according to your ability, up to 5 euros. We especially welcome those living on minimum means to enjoy the event for free.**
**More about the speaker: Fizza**
Fizza is working at the intersection of climate justice, urban and feminist geography and planning. She started her career as an architect in Pakistan and received a double Master's in international cooperation and urban development from Germany and Spain. Her work and engagement in the development sector motivated her to shift towards community-driven approaches, bringing forth non-western narratives grounded in decolonial epistemologies.
**More about the venue: The Permaculture Barcelona Hub**
Launched by this event's co-host and permaculture educator Alfred Decker as a dedicated space where people can come together to learn permaculture design, experience urban ecology, connect with local activists and communities, and explore the deeper questions about where the international permaculture movement needs to go next.
The Hub is not just another course venue. It is a meeting point — between the local and the global, between nature and the built environment, between traditional permaculture theory and emerging practices, between what permaculture has been and to where it can evolve.
The world is changing faster than our landscapes. To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we don't only need more gardens—we need a revolution in how we live, relate, and organize within our urban centres. The Hub will be a node in the network for developing a deep adaptation to the polycrisis we are living in.

And a million people [visit](https://www.statenews.org/government-politics/2025-08-06/attendance-off-slightly-at-2025-ohio-state-fair-but-sales-of-champions-was-up-big) it each year.
Last year's [attendees](https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/nearly-1-million-visitors-2025-ohio-state-fair-fun-facts-statistics/530-e6c7db59-e9ca-469b-9d3e-ef39011aca00) came from each of Ohio's 88 counties, from all 50 states, and from as far away as 26 other countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, and others, according to Ticketmaster sales data.
**Map of the Fair**
Here is a [map of the grounds](https://cdn.saffire.com/images.ashx?t=ig&rid=OhioStateFair&i=map2025.jpg&cb=0508a2a3).
**Directions, Parking, Tickets, Timing**
Take exit 111 (17th Avenue) off of I-71. Turn west (toward the McDonald's).
[Parking is $10](https://www.ohiostatefair.com/p/visit/pricing-hours) whether you pay in advance or on-site. It's generally not too bad getting in and out of the fair. You generally get an excellent spot, too, early in the mornings. There are cops everywhere and they will let you know where to park.
[Tickets will be $13](https://www.ohiostatefair.com/p/visit/pricing-hours), but through July 26, you can buy them online for $9. You can also buy 3- and 12-day admission tickets in advance for $24 and $84, respectively.
I've scheduled this meetup from 9 to 3, but you can obviously come late or leave early if you want. They will also stamp your hand for free same-day re-admission if you want.
The fair is a big place. You will get plenty of steps in at this event, so be prepared to do some walking!
**Outside Items**
From the [FAQ](https://www.ohiostatefair.com/p/visit/faqs):
* *Bags*
"Purses, backpacks, book bags, coolers, strollers, etc. are permitted, but are subject to search. Bag searches will also be conducted for guests entering concerts and events in the WCOL Celeste Center."
* *Outside Food and Beverage*
"You may bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages. Glass bottles and containers are not permitted on grounds."
I like to bring a disposable plastic bottle of water with me and refill it on the grounds as I go.
**What's New at the Fair**
They've spent the last couple years doing major construction at the fair, and most if not all of it should be completed by the start of this year's fair. They've been massively overhauling what's located at the heart of the fairgrounds just north of Kiddleland and just west of the Midway, they're supposed to also have completed improvements to the Dairy Building.
In the center of the fairgrounds, there's supposed to be a new food hall, which I would consider to be the centerpiece of the whole shebang. It's supposed to [include](https://www.ohioexpocenter.com/p/about/expo-2050-master-plan) "multi-purpose dining and event space and incubator kitchens on the first floor, and additional dining and event space on the second story." Furthermore, "both levels [will] include outdoor dining on a patio or balcony."
A new "Town Square" and surrounding area will also feature a permanent "Ohio-themed carousel" that will also be "complete with ample shade and seating." The new Dairy Building will be air-conditioned and add public restrooms, a universal changing table, and other new amenities.
Four hundred and sixty million dollars have been spent on these improvements and renovations, and I expect they will be very cool!
**Where We'll Meet**
At no later than 9 a.m., I'll be standing by the giant cardinal just inside Cardinal Gate 1, then we'll wander down to Tracey's (see below). If you come late, Tracey's is where you'll find us (DM me or drop a note in the comments if you need help finding us after you arrive).
*Note: There's a smaller Tracey's booth near the main entrance. This is not the Tracey's location we'll be meeting at. You will have to walk down to the Bricker Marketplace to get to the correct Tracey's. There's more information on this, below, in the "What We'll Do" section.*
If you want to come later in the day, drop me a note and I'll help you navigate to us or I'll come find you if that's feasible.
**What We'll Do**
This will be sort of a soft itinerary, depending on the interests of the group. The following is based on last year's [fair schedule](https://www.ohiostatefair.com/events), and might need to be changed depending on this year's schedule. But the overall fair schedule doesn't normally change that radically year-over-year.
* 9:00 a.m. - *Tracey's*
Tracey's is located at the northernmost part of the "WNCI Food Highway," just south of Brown Arena and at the northern corner of the Bricker Marketplace. They have a covered area with picnic tables where you can sit. They have one of the most varied food selections at the fair. They serve breakfast in the mornings, including eggs, bacon, and pancakes. We'll meet here and start our day by socializing over coffee and, if you want, breakfast.
Last year, the pancakes with bacon was $7. You got two pancakes that I would describe as average-sized, and a couple strips of bacon. They gave me extra syrup for free. Both the pancakes and the bacon were actually pretty good. Their coffee is generally good, too. They also serve their coffee in Styrofoam cups, which I like because good coffee is more important to me than the environment.
I've posted pics, below, of last year's Tracey's menu, as well as a picture of the venue itself relative to the main entrance of the Bricker Marketplace (this entrance faces the Celeste Center).
* 10:00 a.m. - *Kasich Hall*
Here they have the Ohio State Fair history exhibit, which is very cool. This building also hosts the creative exhibits, including quilts, cakes and pastries, and fair posters. Finally, events like girls' baton competitions, girls' cheerleading, youth choir, and youth boxing (my favorite) are held here.
* 11:00 a.m. - *Lausche Youth Exploration Space*
This building features 4-H exhibits, Boy and Girl Scout exhibits, and various science exhibits, with the latter including exhibits from COSI and the Ohio State Physics Department. You can also buy Girl Scout cookies here!
* 12:00 a.m. - *Bricker Marketplace*
Bricker Marketplace is the fair's main flea market. It's a huge indoor shopping area with a food court at its center. The [ODOT](https://www.transportation.ohio.gov/) booth is here, and I always like to check and see if they have any maps I want. Because Bricker is air-conditioned, it's a good place to stop for lunch. There are booths here with burgers, pizza, chicken, Asian food, and alcoholic beverages.
* 1:00 p.m. - *Cox Fine Arts*
There are art displays here -- paintings, drawings, sculptures, and such. I always like going through here, and people usually like the displays here.
* 2:00 p.m. - *Natural Resources Park*
The Natural Resources Park is next to Kiddieland, and I think it's the best area of the fair. It's certainly a very popular area. The Timber Show is popular, though I confess to finding it slightly overrated. This area also includes youth fishing, a kayak pond, archery range, butterfly house, aviary, and animal exhibits -- and these are all free.
You can also get free chap stick and pens in the [Oil & Gas building](https://ohiodnr.gov/discover-and-learn/safety-conservation/about-ODNR/oil-gas/oil-gas). The chap stick is functional, though perhaps a bit mediocre, but the pens are absolutely the best possible pens you can get anywhere, and I'm being completely serious about this. These are seriously my all-time favorite pens, so I encourage you to grab a few.
**Other Things Along the Way**
Again, the Ohio State Fair is a big place! So here are some of the other things we might check out along the way:
* *The* *Cincinnati Circus Company, The Nerveless Nocks, Lady Houdini, or some other "death-defying" act*
These typically start at 1:30 and run once every two hours in the afternoon. The show is generally decent and worth catching, whatever it happens to be. These used to run at the south end of the fair by the south gate on 11th Avenue, but a couple years ago they moved them to the south end of the Midway and next to Natural Resources Park. My guess is that this is where they will be again this year.
* *Main Street Stage / Gazebo Stage*
These stages are at opposite ends of the "WNCI Food Highway." They'll have shows like live music, magic, hypnosis, juggling, and the like. I usually end up seeing most of the shows, almost by accident, during my annual trips to the fair. If there's music at the Gazebo, though, it can be a little loud if the performer is using a big amp. But otherwise the shows are generally entertaining, if not spectacular.
If [The Beach Geeks](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1440916777197254) are playing again this year, we are absolutely dropping everything to check them out. I'll fight people on this.
* *The Midway*
I'm not a big *riding*-the-rides person, and I doubt we will go through here though unless there's interest. However, I do really enjoy *watching* people ride rides, so I never have a problem taking a stroll down the Midway.
I do like doing bumper cars, though, as well as some of the various haunted or fun houses. If you think there's a snowball's chance in hell I'm doing the [Defender](https://talleyamusements.com/attraction/defender/), though, then please put the bong down and slowly back away.
* *The Dairy Building*
This is where the famous Butter Cow is, and the exhibit is always popular. You can also get fairly overpriced ice cream and milkshakes here. Unless something changes here because of their renovations, there are cheaper places at the fair where you can get dairy desserts, and I can show you where they are.
* *Taft Coliseum*
An indoor arena where they have rodeo- or cowboy/cowgirl-type shows. Sometimes these shows are very good and entertaining and worth checking out. Note that, while you're out of the sun here and the seating is generally good, the arena is not air-conditioned.
If trick riders [Tracie Spitznogle](https://www.tiktok.com/discover/tracie-lee-spitzongle) and [Carlie Hale](https://www.facebook.com/trickriderCarlie/) are here, you are likely to enjoy their show, and it will be free (and well-attended).
* *The Petting Zoo* & *Pig Races*
These used to be in Kiddieland, but in 2025 they were moved to "The Barnyard," next to the Gazebo Stage and the Celeste Center. I suspect they'll have moved again in 2026, but that they will otherwise be back. They're both free and generally popular, with the Pig Races being *extremely* popular. The woman who does the announcing for the Races always delivers the exact same script year after year, but she has so much charisma you won't care, even if you've seen it many times before.
* *Central Park*
Sometimes I like to just sit here, people-watch, and listen to the sounds of the fair. There are typically several beer vendors right next to Central Park if you want to relax and nurse a beverage while you do so, and the Dairy Building is also very close by.
This area may end up being superseded in desirability by the new "Town Square." The Park does suffer from a paucity of shade, and the Square is supposed to rectify some of this. We will see!
* *Live Music*
There is likely to be some sort of band performing classic rock from something like 2p-5p either in the Taste of Ohio Pavilion next to the Natural Resources Park, or in the Pavilion's replacement/renovated area near the new Town Square. The show will be free and highly likely to be quite good. You should be able to get drinks and food here, too (wherever the ultimate location is), while you check out the band.
* *Zultar - Fortune Teller*
I saw this guy for the first time last year. He's one of the fair's "strolling entertainers," meaning he takes his act all over the fair and you never know where he will show up next. He's got a "booth" and he wears a costume and face paint that make him look exactly like one of those fortune-telling-booth mannequins. He is completely hilarious (particularly when dealing with children), and if we see him, we will stop and watch him. Don't make me fight you on this, too, people.
* *Ohio History Center*
Buying a ticket to enter the Ohio State Fair will automatically get you free admission to the [Ohio History Center](https://www.ohiohistory.org/visit/ohio-history-center/) and [Ohio Village](https://www.ohiohistory.org/visit/ohio-village/), which are located just outside the fairgrounds but otherwise are just next door.
They've been doing major renovations of the Village, but these are supposed to be completed by the time the State Fair opens this year. You can walk from the fair to the History Center and the Village, or they have a free shuttle you can take. It's not a short walk, but it's also eminently doable.
The History Center is a museum that's really not too terribly big, but is very interesting. And the Village is a living simulation of life in a small 19th-century Ohio town. I suspect most of the people who come out this Meetup would probably enjoy both the Center and the Village. Just keep in mind, though, that if we go, we'll probably be up there for at least a couple hours, which means less time at the fair. However, you won't have to twist my arm to get me to go up, because the whole History complex is actually pretty cool.
**Conclusion**
Come on out to the Ohio State Fair! 🥳 🎉 😄
