Overview

• The Parliament will host a 10 September vigil with the raising of a large senyera attended by President Salvador Illa, speaker Josep Rull and Barcelona mayor Jaume Collboni, followed by Illa’s 21:00 address from the Palau de la Generalitat.
• Rull reinstated the ceremony by commissioning a 25‑metre mast in the Parc de la Ciutadella, with reports differing on whether the flag measures 42 or 54 square metres, and the public act is set to begin at 19:30 with choir and narration.
• The central institutional event on 11 September is scheduled for 20:00 at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya under artistic director Marta Bayarri, with invited performers including Antonio Orozco and Àngel Llàcer.
• The Govern’s program frames the Diada as “open to the world” with activities across Catalonia and official receptions in foreign delegations spanning Brussels, Paris, Washington and Tokyo, among other cities.
• Pro‑independence entities have called demonstrations beginning at 17:14, with Barcelona’s route from Pla de Palau along Passeig de Colom to La Rambla and simultaneous acts in Girona and Tortosa, as commentators note sustained declines since the pandemic.
