Christmas in Valencia
Fairs, activities, performances and thousands of events to enjoy these days in the city of Valencia.
Christmas is just around the corner, and Valencia offers multiple leisure and fun plans for everyone in the city during those days. We propose some plans and traditions to spend this Christmas in the capital of Turia.
One of the most demanded activities in the Christmas campaign is ice skating. Spending the afternoons sliding, doing tricks, and taking more than one fall down the ice rink, has become a classic. This year you can enjoy winter skating on the slopes of Nuevo Centro, the ice rink Fun On Ice, near Bonaire, and the famous Town Hall Square rink.
Walking through the streets of the city during these dates is also a good plan to spend an entertaining afternoon. The City Council has placed 12 large Christmas trees in different neighborhoods of the city. You can enjoy the peculiar lighting of the city center, the varied exhibitions of nativity scenes or the different markets and Christmas fairs. One of the busiest fairs during these days is the Christmas Craft Fair, located in the Plaza de la Reina, which has the best handmade products from Valencia.
Like every year, the classic San Silvestre Race is also celebrated, a fun sporting event for running dressed up as Santa Claus. This last race of the year takes place on Monday, December 30 through the streets of downtown Valencia.
The last night of the year also has a special program in Valencia. You can hear live bells and enjoy the entrance of the year with the best party possible. The beginning of the new year will be carried out by a pyrotechnic show that will be followed by a poster of dj’s from the area that will make you dance until the body endures. And if that is not enough, the party will be accompanied by a light show.
Nor can you miss the Three Kings Cavalcade, an essential date to say goodbye to the Christmas holidays. This year the theme of this emblematic parade will be ecology, the environment and sustainability. Different floats, dances and a multitude of people parading, will brighten the streets from Passeig de l’Albereda to Marqués de Sotelo.
Let yourself be carried away by the Christmas atmosphere of the city and wake up the magic inside.
