The Plantà of Alicante's Bonfires to Proceed on the Night of June 17

A little less than a month before the major days of June, the bonfires and barracas can now check the plantà days. The schedule remains the same as last year, taking advantage of the working days to ensure everything is ready for the weekend, as June 21 falls on a Saturday when the adult jury will visit.

The logistical plan, accessed by TodoAlicante, organized by the City Council to manage traffic during the transport and storage days, is already designed for the 2025 Bonfires. This varies depending on the category.

Thus, the operation will start on Tuesday, June 17, during the midnight, from 00:01 hours. However, there will be a pause between 6 and 9:30 hours that day. This avoids city congestion during peak hours when people go to work and take children to schools and educational centres.

From that time, the traffic and transport operation will resume to ensure the efficiency of the foguerers artists as well as the safety and comfort of residents during the days leading up to and during the main days of Alicante's Bonfires.

The bonfires of Special and first category, due to their complex volumes and work, will have the longest hours to carry out transport, material storage, and plantà tasks. The first tasks can be carried out from 00:01 hours on June 17, until 6 hours that day.

The transport, storage, and plantà of tops and ninots will resume from 9:30 hours, aiming to conclude during the night of June 20, known as nit de la plantà. From 9 hours on June 21, all bonfires must be planted to receive the jury's visit.

Both adult bonfires of other categories -from second to seventh- and children's -from Special to sixth- can begin transporting the ninots from the workshop to their district from 18 hours on Tuesday, June 17. The schedule for material storage and plantà will be uninterrupted.

In the case of children's bonfires, they must be fully planted by 9 hours on June 20, when the jury will come to evaluate them; while the adult ones must be completed by the same time on June 21.

Both the barracas and their gateways, as well as the racós of the bonfires, will have permission to set up their fences, bars, tables, and stages from 9:30 hours on Wednesday, June 18, with uninterrupted assembly hours. The first night in the racós will be, according to the City Council's schedule, on the 19th, presumably without music.

These venues must be dismantled by 7 hours on June 25, after the various nights of celebration among foguerers and barraquers. It is then that the city will return to normal regarding road traffic, reopening the streets and roads closed by the bonfires and barracas during the major days of June.
