HAPPENINGS IN VALENCIA
Many events pop up and disappear with little or no advertising. Some activities are small or unique. These happenings are posted in this calendar. A source of possible surprise and discovery.
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.
