Tarragona will build human towers for the Diada and will once again honor Rafael Casanova
La Colla Jove de Tarragona will celebrate the National Day of Catalonia with a castell performance and a floral offering to Rafael Casanova. The group has announced this for Friday, September 11, in a call that puts the castells at the center of the day.
The message is brief, but the program has two very specific gestures: to build the country by raising castells and to participate, as every year, in the floral offering at the monument to Rafael Casanova. A day marked by tradition, the square, and that liturgy that returns punctually to the calendar.
La Colla Jove prepares the Diada in Tarragona
What will La Colla do this Friday?
La Colla Jove de Tarragona announces two participations during the National Day of Catalonia: a castell activity and the floral offering at the monument to Rafael Casanova. The event corresponds to this Friday, September 11.
The group itself expresses it with the slogan “building the country, building castells”, a phrase that summarizes the meaning it gives to the day. It does not present a schedule or specify the location of the castell activity, so these details cannot be added without a new communication.
According to the Colla Jove de Tarragona, the celebration will include castells and the annual floral offering.
Why are the castells the center of the day?
For the reader in Tarragona, the announcement has a very clear local reading: the Diada will again have La Colla Jove as the protagonist of a public celebration linked to castell culture. The group does not just talk about attending an event, but about celebrating the day by building castells.
This difference is significant. In an agenda full of commemorations, castells provide a visible and collective action, with the group as the meeting point. And, in this case, the message leaves little room for mystery: the Diada will be experienced from the castell tradition.
- Announced date: Friday, September 11.
- Main activity: building castells.
- Institutional and commemorative act: floral offering at the monument to Rafael Casanova.
- Frequency of the offering: La Colla Jove participates as every year.
An annual floral offering
Where will La Colla Jove participate?
The group will participate in the floral offering at the monument to Rafael Casanova. This is the only specific point the message includes about this part of the day; the publication does not specify the time nor detail other participants.
This places the offering as the second announced moment by La Colla Jove, after the castell activity. The gesture is simple and recognizable: a floral presence in front of the monument, repeated annually, accompanying the celebration of the Diada.
Precision matters because it prevents turning the announcement into an invented agenda. We know what the group will do and when they will do it, but not the time or the route that will be followed. Prudence, sometimes, is more useful than filling gaps with smoke.
What exactly has La Colla announced?
La Colla Jove de Tarragona has announced that this Friday, September 11, it will honor the National Day of Catalonia by building the country and building castells. Additionally, it has confirmed that it will participate, as every year, in the floral offering at the monument to Rafael Casanova.
The message includes the hashtags #FemElPas and #castells, which reinforce the character of the call. It does not include numbers, names of other groups, schedules, additional locations, or any details about the progression of the day.
Therefore, the available information allows us to anticipate one thing: La Colla Jove will be present in the two events it has communicated for the Diada. To know when each activity will start or exactly where the castell part will take place, it will be necessary to wait for further details from the group itself.
La Colla Jove de Tarragona’s Diada is defined by two gestures: castells and a floral offering. The first puts the collective action at the center; the second maintains an annual participation in front of the monument to Rafael Casanova. The date is this Friday, September 11, and the group’s message makes it clear that tradition will once again take its place, without artifices and with the square—when the time comes—as the natural stage.
