Unity and solidarity in the Alicante Bonfires. The Francisco Albert and Rambla de Méndez Núñez districts join forces to launch the first mascletà of the year in the city, which will include a collection of school supplies for those affected by the storm on October 29th.

This first mascletà of 2025 will be executed by Pedro Luis Sirvent's pyrotechnics, which will ignite 40 kilos of gunpowder at the Cortes Valencianas park this Sunday, January 12th, at 2 PM.

With this display, both districts aim to welcome the year through the pyrotechnic art "by the hands of the masters of gunpowder," such as the Sirvent brothers, in a mascletà filled with 'festive brotherhood'.

As a prelude to the mascletà, the Francisco Albert and Rambla de Méndez Núñez bonfires have organized a popular breakfast starting at 11 AM this Sunday, January 12th, where school supplies will be collected for the educational centers affected by the storm.

Furthermore, both commissions call upon the candidates for the 2025 Bellea del Foc to enjoy a unifying event. Representatives from the 91 districts will have a reserved space to enjoy the spectacle by Pedro Luis Sirvent.

Traffic cuts

This Sunday, January 12th, the mascletà will feature various traffic cuts and parking prohibitions at the firing site, the Cortes Valencianas park. Restrictions will begin at 8 AM on Escultores Hermanos Blanco street, between Médico Pedro Herrero and Deportista Vicente Pastor streets.

Parking prohibitions will also extend, during the same hours, to Deportista Vicente Pastor street, between Deportista Enrique Carey and Club Natación, Médico Pedro Herrero street, between number 21 and the intersection with Escultores Hermanos Blanco street.

Additionally, there will be temporary traffic cuts on Deportista Vicente Pastor street, between Deportista Enrique Carey and Deportista Ángel Aznar, Deportista Enrique Carey, Médico Pedro Herrero, and an unknown road (extension of Médico Pedro Herrero), between Escultores Hermanos Blanco and Princesa Mercedes; between 1 PM and 2:30 PM.

More mascletàs in Alicante

In addition to the pyrotechnic shows organized by the districts, the city of Alicante will resonate until next June with the mascletàs of the 'Pòlvora tot l'any' cycle, which enter the competition to launch the 'Arribada del foc' in 2026.

The gunpowder will return to the streets of Alicante on February 2nd, with a mascletà in sector four, on Avenida Ejércitos Españoles, at 2 PM, thus continuing the pyrotechnic calendar.
