Local fiestas: Fogueres de Sant Joan (Xàbia’s main patronal festival)

Xàbia’s major annual festival, the Fogueres de Sant Joan, runs for roughly two weeks around the feast of St John (in 2026, confirmed activities ran from early/mid-June through 24 June), with bonfires, concerts, religious ceremonies, bullfighting-related acts, and a flower offering.

Why it matters

The single most important local festival newcomers should plan around, both to join in and to anticipate noise, road closures and crowding in the town center.

When
