The Sant Joan Festival arrives in Torroella and l’Estartit with several activities scheduled, some alterations to mobility and in a context of high risk of forest fires due to the drought affecting the entire country.
One of the central events of this festival in the municipality is the Ítaca Festival which will be held on the beach of l’Estartit with three days of concerts and names such as Zoo , Oques Grasses , Rigoberta Bandini , Roba Estesa or a light and drone show among others. Still in the fishing village on the day of the festival the Flama del Canigó will arrive at 8pm in Plaça de la Llevantina and two hours later Els Pirat’s del Foc will light the bonfire and star in a correfoc. As for Torroella the epicentre of the festival will be Plaça de la Vila. It will start at 7.45pm with the children’s show ‘Que comenci la festa’ and will continue at 8.30pm with the arrival of the Flama del Canigó with street music.
In L’Estartit, on June 23, 24 and 25, coinciding with the concerts of the Ítaca Festival and the Sant Joan festival, it is recommended to park in the two large parking areas at the entrance to the town: One in front of the Masia and the other, in the Skate Parc area on Carrer del Freu. On these same days, parking on the Passeig Marítim will be prohibited from 8am to 7pm and from 7pm until midnight it will be closed to traffic.
The drought situation affecting the whole country will force us to take extreme precautions when setting off firecrackers as they can cause fires. In L’Estartit, the Platja Gran car park has been set up as an area to set off pyrotechnics. Regarding precautions when handling firecrackers, it is recommended not to shoot rockets with your hand, not to attack street furniture or private property and to avoid placing them in places susceptible to explosion such as bottles. It is also recommended to remove hanging clothes and flammable material from balconies and close the windows, among other common sense recommendations. To make any bonfire, authorization from the Generalitat is required and it is prohibited to do so in forest land and in the 500-meter strip surrounding them.
