Chupinazo festival launches in Navarre

Overview

On 31 July 2026, several Navarre towns marked the start of their summer celebrations by firing the traditional chupinazo rocket. In Arguedas, the launch opened the "días grades" festivities, while nearby Estella followed with its own rocket and a river‑float descent on the Ega. Later that day, Zubiri’s five‑day festival was kicked off by 17‑year‑old frontball player Unai Esain, who was honoured for his recent sporting achievements. The events featured community‑funded activities such as paella nights, futsal finals, mariachis and other cultural programmes, underscoring the chupinazo’s role as a unifying ceremonial signal across multiple Navarre villages.
