Benidorm Fiestas. Fiestas in Benidorm.
In the last week of September, Benidorm hosts the “Moros y Cristianos” (Muslims and Christians) fiesta, commemorating the expulsion of the Moors in the 13th century. Hundreds of locals participate in the celebration, donning elaborate costumes and parading through the city streets.
In October, Valencia Day is celebrated with many exhibitions and stalls showcasing Valencian produce.
Perhaps the most important festival in Benidorm’s calendar is the Fiestas Patronales, celebrated in November. This festival venerates Benidorm’s patron saints, the Virgen del Suffrage and Jaime Apostole, and runs from the second Saturday of the month until the following Wednesday. Worshippers carry large bouquets of flowers through the streets of the old town to the Church on the headland. These flowers are then woven into a massive display at the church entrance. The festival includes many parties and culminates in an impressive fireworks display. Preceding events feature concerts, sporting competitions such as football and fishing, and other activities.
Details of events are subject to change.
