The beginning of the festival is marked by the reading of the proclamation and the launching of the txupín (rocket) by the txupinera. Moments later, the great Marijaia appears on the balcony, a fictitious character whose name means lady of the festivities, who will preside over the town's festivities until she is burned on the last day.
