The Quiapo Church has released the schedule and complete route for the 2026 Traslación to be held on January 9, 2026. The full procession will once again be returning to the streets of Manila after several years of changes to the tradition.
According to Fr. Robert Arellano, the Feast of the Black Nazarene will begin from December 31, 2025 to January 9, 2026. The Mass Mayor will be led by Bishop Rufino Sescon before the grand procession begins from Quirino Grandstand.
The city will implement restrictions to facilitate the movement of people. Vendors are prohibited around the Quiapo Church from January 7–9 for security and crowd control.
Here is the official route:
Quirino Grandstand → Katigbak Drive → Padre Burgos St. → Finance Road → Ayala Bridge → Palanca St. → Quezon Blvd. → Arlegui St. → Fraternal St. → Vergara St. → Duque de Alba St. → Castillejos → Farnecio → Arlegui → Nepomuceno → Concepcion Aguila → Carcer → Hidalgo → Plaza del Carmen → Bilibid Viejo → Gil Puyat → J.P. de Guzman → Hidalgo → Quezon Blvd. → Palanca → Quezon Bridge → Villalobos → Plaza Miranda → Quiapo Church.
Millions of devotees are expected to participate, so the public is being alerted to prepare for heavy traffic, long walks, and tight security in the area.
