Valencia is a vibrant city, where happenings include concerts, theatre performances, an exhibit vernissage or finissage. Spontaneous celebrations, an opening, anniversary or a pop-up market can be thoroughly enjoyable too.

Happenings often take place with surprisingly little publicity. Just a few local nationals attend. Many in the expat community of Valencia adore these gatherings.

The calendar below offers expats a quick, easy and simple way to discover current activities all on one page.
