Cornellà is already counting the days until its Corpus Christi festival fills the streets with activities, music, and light. This year, the main novelty of the program is a light and drone show, which will accompany the music and fireworks, serving to close the festivities on Sunday, June 7, starting at 10:30 PM, in Plaça Catalunya. Before that, however, the city will have experienced intense days with a program heavily marked by music and popular culture.
The Corpus concerts will bring consecrated groups such as The Tyets and the legendary Ducan Dhu and Barón Rojo, as well as Mama Dousha, to the city. In addition, Cornellà-born radio host Tony Aguilar will be the master of ceremonies for 'Els 40 Urban Party' XXL, which will be held in Ribera Park on June 6, with the presence of Álvaro de Luna, Miki Núñez, Ruslana, and Naiara, among others.
A very special proclamation
Regarding local popular culture, the proclamation will be given by the Galician Cultural Association Rosalía de Castro, on Thursday, June 4, starting at 9:15 PM at the City Hall. This entity will also celebrate its traditional Galician Festival in Can Mercader.
There will also be the Corndefoc and the Gathering of Giants, as well as the human tower exhibition and the Populari, among the most attractive proposals that have always drawn the most people.
Joven Greko, the author of the poster
In turn, the festival poster is the work of young Cornellà native Adrián Martín, known as Joven Greko for his music. The poster shows the festival fireworks seen from a typical city street, contemplated by the residents.
Regarding organizational matters, the City Council will once again incorporate inclusive activities to make Corpus Christi a celebration accessible to everyone. In this regard, the proclamation will be broadcast in sign language and the pyromusical with audio description. As a novelty, the 'XSST! Let's play by lowering the volume' space will be the epicenter for families with children with hypersensitivity, while the concerts by The Tyets and Duncan Dhu include a magnetic loop and vibrating backpacks to improve music audition.
On the other hand, the council has prepared a free bus line that will travel at night through the main points of the festival, on Friday and Saturday, allowing people to get off on demand. In addition, a Lila Point will be set up near the main stages to inform, advise, and help in any context of sexist or LGTBI-phobic aggression, which will be coordinated with the security forces.
