The city of Rubí has faced a challenging week due to Storm Nils, which caused the closure of several municipal buildings and disrupted Carnival 2026 events.

High winds led to the closure of the Mestre Martí Tauler Library and Ateneu. While the Opening Proclamation was affected, the main Carnival Parade proceeded as planned. Meanwhile, local teachers protested this Wednesday demanding better funding and lower student-to-teacher ratios.
Looking ahead, the city will host the first Chandal Festival on March 7th, a unique musical event where tracksuits are mandatory. Additionally, the City Council has launched a new Mobility Control Center to monitor urban traffic and public transport data in real-time.
