The Colla Castellera de Figueres, known as the 'Merlots', was responsible for delivering the proclamation of the Santa Creu Fairs and Festivals in Figueres on April 26, 2026, in an event that highlighted the participation of various generations of the group.

The 'Merlots'' entrance into the square was one of the most emotional moments, passing through a corridor formed by the Amics dels Gegants de Figueres, the previous year's proclaimers. This scene, with the children dressed in purple waving city and group flags, created a memorable image in front of the City Council facade, which was adorned according to tradition.
To access the municipal balcony, the castellers performed a 'pillar', from which the 'enxaneta' reached out, symbolizing the start of the proclamation. The event continued with a choral speech, where different generations of the group spoke, highlighting their history and celebrating their thirtieth anniversary.
