Pregó de Festa Major in Poblenou

The Pregó de Festa Major opens the Festa Major del Poblenou, the neighborhood's main summer festival in Barcelona. The official proclamation takes place on the Rambla del Poblenou, at the junction with carrer Joncar and carrer Ramon Turró, setting the tone for ten days of community celebration.

Attendees can expect a lively street atmosphere as the festival kicks off with this traditional speech, followed by a packed programme that includes matinades (morning music), a castellera diada (human towers), a concert by the Banda Municipal de Barcelona, a children's cercavila, the correfoc (fire run), a gegants procession, and a grand fireworks display on Bogatell beach. The festival is organized by the Coordinadora d'Entitats del Poblenou, with many events run by local groups and collectives.

For visitors, it's a chance to experience authentic Catalan street culture in one of Barcelona's most dynamic neighborhoods, where tradition and creativity come together in a week of music, dance, and community spirit.
