The Costa Blanca is bustling with lively events, cultural celebrations, and live entertainment this weekend as summer finally settles in. There is something for everyone, whether you prefer historical parades, international food festivals, live music by the sea, or even some traditional village fiestas. This weekend is full of chances to experience the local way of life and take advantage of the warm June evenings, from popular coastal destinations like Moraira and Javea to quaint inland towns like Benissa and Rojales.
Moors and Christians in Benissa: This weekend, Benissa’s spectacular Moors and Christians festival offers a chance to travel back in time. As the town celebrates its patrol saint, Saint Peter, expect lavish costumes, exciting parades, simulated combat, and thunderous fireworks. One of the most recognisable and immersive summer events in Costa Blanca, the streets will come alive with a touch of the Middle Ages.
Javea International Festival: This weekend, Javea is the place to go if you’re searching for flavour, colour, and culture. With a lively blend of live music, dance, international cuisine, and family entertainment, the international festival lasts the entire weekend. This is a great way to see the world without ever leaving the Costa Blanca, as more than 20 countries are represented.
Saint Peter Celebrations in Tabarca and Rojales: As they commemorate Saint Peter’s Day this weekend, the inland town of Rojales and the coastal island of Tabarca are going all out. Religious processions, music, dancing, and a strong sense of community are all to be expected. You have the opportunity to experience real Spanish culture in two very different but equally endearing ways.
Live Music in Moraira: This weekend is the town’s open-air music festival, which is taking place against the breathtaking backdrop of the Moraira Castle. With events planned all weekend long, this is the ideal way to spend warm summer evenings with fantastic music, views of the sea, and a vibrant local community. After packing a picnic or purchasing something from a local vendor, you can sit back and enjoy the evening.
Tribute Night in La Zona: The Luther Vandross and Billy Ocean tribute night at La Zona Terraza is a must-see for fans of soul, R&B, and smooth vocal. This exciting show, which is scheduled for Saturday night, will revive the soul heyday with fervent performances and lots of dance floor fillers. Booking a table is advised because this one is expected to be very popular.
Family-Friendly Fun in Granja de Rocamora: Do you want to do something family-friendly and a little more low-key this weekend? Then why not go to Granja de Rocamora, where there are fairs, food vendors, and traditional games as part of the local celebrations for Saint Peter? Attendees of all ages can enjoy this relaxed and genuine glimpse into Spanish village life.
There are plenty of ways to take advantage of the sunshine this weekend, whether it be through traditional fiestas, music, culture, or cuisine, regardless of where you are on the Costa Blanca. However, with a heat wave sweeping the area, it’s more crucial than ever to be safe, stay cool, drink plenty of water, and remember to wear sun cream when you’re out exploring. Make the most of the weekend, whether that means taking a leisurely stroll through a local market or dancing the night away at a festival. However, be mindful of the heat this weekend especially.
