Festival Proclamation

Consell’s festive programme opens with an inaugural address on 16 August 2026. The speech will be delivered by Consell’s youth group, placing younger voices from the community at the heart of this opening moment. More than a formal announcement, an opening address brings local residents together and gives the celebrations ahead a shared sense of occasion. For visitors in Consell, it is an opportunity to encounter a community gathering shaped by the town itself and by the participation of its young people.
