Barcelona’s City Police will be working to ensure the fair is held safely and avoid any uncivil behaviour, unauthorised vending or other conduct which may affect the normal use of public space. Breathalyser and drug tests will also be carried out.
The City Police will also be actively working to prevent sexual violence in and around the fair, in particular with the recommended safe routes.
In this respect, there will be a purple point on the site for preventing gender violence and LGBTI-phobia and providing assistance. If needed, staff there will be able to activate the safety protocol against sexual violence in leisure environments.
