Valencia thrives on its rich culture and tradition, just as much as it does on creating something new and different. That’s why the celebrations and events in the city all year round, are some of the best experiences you can have as a visitor.
It’s a great idea to schedule your tour around some of the top Valencia events like the ones mentioned below.
Literally meaning ‘Parade of the Three Kings’, this is one of the best events in Valencia for the full family to enjoy. As tradition goes, a parade sets sail across town, with colourful floats and people in costumes riding along. The best part — they throw thousands of candies towards onlookers! No wonder kids love this festival.
Held every February, this carnival isn’t as big as the ones in cities like Tenerife, but it’s still a great reason to celebrate. Timed right before Lent, this is the city having its one last indulgent party before a month of piety. Drink, dance and make merry just as the locals do at this Valencia festival.
It is one of the most iconic events in Valencia. Artists and designers create giant paper mache structures that are a comical take on everyday affairs. Satire has never been more creative! While there’s a judging and the winning Falla is stored permanently in the Las Fallas Museum, the rest of them are symbolically lit on fire.
You probably already know about this Valencia festival, the renowned tomato war that paints the town and its citizens in red. This happens in the village of Buñol, usually a quiet place that becomes a battlefield for this one day.
