🎉🔥 – MONCADA IS IN PARTY MODE! 🔥🎉
The festivities are well and truly underway in Moncada, where the town is celebrating its Festes Patronals 2026 from 31 August to 10 September! 🎉🥁💃
For almost two weeks, Moncada is filling its streets with music, tradition, gastronomy, culture, entertainment and, of course, plenty of pólvora! 💥🔥
And for us here at Valencia Fallas, Festes & Fireworks, there are some particularly interesting dates to keep an eye on! 👀🎆
💥 8 SEPTEMBER – MARE DE DÉU DELS DESEMPARATS
After the morning's religious celebrations, the festive atmosphere continues with a mascletà at 14:00 in Plaça de Sant Jaume, fired by Pirotecnia Caballer FX. 💥🔥
Later that evening, following the solemn procession in honour of the Mare de Déu dels Desemparats, there will be a fireworks display. 🎆
And the night continues with live music from Matrix Band & DJ!
💥 9 SEPTEMBER – SANTA BÀRBARA
Another day packed with tradition, including the traditional despertà, processions and, at 14:00, another mascletà in Plaça de Sant Jaume in honour of Santa Bàrbara. 💥
Then it's time for one of those great Valencian festive traditions — Nit de la Paella! 🥘🔥
The evening continues with Moncada Paellas Fest, featuring Los Inhumanos and a DJ at Avenida de la Mediterránea. 🎶🎉
🎇 10 SEPTEMBER – THE GRAND FINALE
The final day of the festivities brings another 14:00 mascletà in honour of Sant Jaume before the celebrations build towards the evening procession.
Following the procession, accompanied by the traditional dansà of the Grup de Dances de Moncada, the celebrations culminate at 23:30 with a CASTLE OF FIREWORKS! 🎆🔥
The closing fireworks will be fired from the site between Avenida Daniel Comboni and Calle Barcelona, behind the Ermita's water deposit.
But the pólvora isn't the only reason to visit Moncada!
Across the celebrations you'll find 🎺 live music and bands, 💃 traditional culture, 🥘 gastronomy, 🎉 street celebrations, 👨👩👧👦 family activities, 🎶 concerts and plenty of opportunities to experience the atmosphere of a traditional Festes Patronals here in l'Horta Nord.
And that's exactly what we love about this time of year in the Comunitat Valenciana.
🔥 Fallas may be six months away, but the pólvora never really stops!
From the mascletàs and fireworks to the music, food and traditions that bring communities together, September is packed with local celebrations — and we'll be bringing you as many of them as we can!
