Mozilla Festival, aka MozFest, is three days of bold conversations, hands-on building, and ideas worth traveling for.
This year, MozFest is taking over Barcelona's Recinte Fabra i Coats—a former industrial complex turned cultural powerhouse—from Wednesday, October 28 through Friday, October 30, 2026.
We are partnering with the City of Barcelona and taking part in Open Tech Week — a city-wide celebration of the people shaping a better digital world.

2026 Theme: Wilding
In a moment when technology feels increasingly centralized, extractive, and controlled, Wilding is a provocation: what happens when we loosen rigid systems and create the conditions for communities and technologies to evolve collectively, naturally, intuitively?
Inspired by ecological practices of rewilding, where gardens and forests are left to regenerate through their own intelligence, this theme explores what it means to let our digital worlds grow wilder, more diverse, and more alive. It means community-owned mesh networks, federated platforms, open protocols, community archives and tools built on transparency, trust and mutual flourishing.

Co-created with you
We're inviting you to submit a proposal that shows how your work exemplifies the 2026 theme of 'Wilding' – to restore balance, and cultivate infrastructures rooted in care, mutuality, and collective action.
We're looking for proposals that celebrate community-led alternatives. Proposals that are proof of what is possible. If your idea makes people question, build, explore, or connect in ways that feel genuinely alive, we want to see it.

2025 Festival Highlights
Revisit 2025’s Great Unlearning
In 2025, more than 2000 people came together In Barcelona to unlearn the old rules of the internet—and imagine new ways to build, connect, and create together.
Mainstage moments included Ruha Benjamin exploring how power operates through the stories we inherit and how breaking free from them can unlock new ways of thinking and building, and Chelsea Manning sharing her 'world of new learnings'—both a cautionary tale and a call to action.
2,000 people. One shared direction.
We’re painting our vision together.
Delight in the unexpected. Technology. Art. Even fashion.
Sometimes the best discoveries happen between sessions.
