Event sign with people

Spaniards like to meet and spend much of their time outdoors. Even more so during the summer. months. The city of Valencia celebrates that tradition with its residents throughout July each year.

The city comes alive when hundreds of cultural and leisure activities large and small are staged for audiences young and old. Various open spaces are transformed into venues for a range of music, contemporary or traditional dance and theatre performances. Magical and comical included.

The heritage of Valencia is also ever-present, woven into the fabric of all manner of experiences. A love for fireworks extends to weekly pyrotechnic displays that light up the skies while shaking audiences to the core with noise.

Numerous popular festivities include a curious Battle of Flowers that has been held for well over a century. The jazz, swing and open-air jam sessions are also popular every year, while the funfair in the Turia opens each evening until the early hours.

The Piano Sky opening ceremony on Plaza del Ayuntamiento sees piano and its performer suspended four metres above the ground. The pianist will be accompanied by dancers, an array of lights and, of course, fireworks.

Many of the diverse activities are free to attend.
