For the grand opening of Hopkinsville’s Downtown Entertainment District, the Pennyroyal Arts Council, in partnership with Charlotte’s on 6th women’s clothing boutique, invites the community to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of Spain at La Rambla Nights on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM in the beautifully lit alley beside the historic Alhambra Theatre in downtown Hopkinsville.
This event is named after La Rambla, the world-famous boulevard in Barcelona where artists, musicians, and performers have gathered for centuries. This event celebrates the spirit of artistic expression while honoring the Alhambra Theatre’s own Spanish heritage—its name inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada. A true promenade, La Rambla is lined with trees and lamp posts—an elegant thoroughfare for public life. It is Barcelona’s social and cultural artery, home to theaters, cafés, flower stalls, and civic celebrations. Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró both spent time near La Rambla in their youth, and the street’s artistic atmosphere shaped many Catalan and Spanish artists’ careers. It’s known for its lively mix of locals and tourists, human statues, newsstands, street art, and cultural venues…much like our own Downtown Entertainment District!
On Saturday, August 23rd, Guests will enjoy:
- Live Violin Performance — A strolling violinist will provide an enchanting soundtrack for the evening.
- Spanish Wine Tasting — The wine-tasting experience facilitated by the Spirit Society of Hopkinsville, offering guests the chance to savor Spanish wines and learn about their origins.
- Community Art Experience — Paintings on large canvases will be started by the Pennyroyal Arts Council team and then opened up for the community to add their own artistic touches. These collaborative works will hopefully later travel to local businesses for public display.
