Fiestas in Javea: "Día de la Comunidad Valenciana" (9th October 2026)

Javea Fiestas 2026 | Dia de la Comunidad Valenciana

Across the region, the day celebrates Valencian history, culture and identity with official ceremonies, community events and family gatherings. While much of Javea enjoys a relaxed public holiday atmosphere, the town's official commemorations take place in the historic old town.

Celebrations take place across the Valencian Community, with Javea's official ceremony held at the Ajuntament de Xàbia (Javea Town Hall) in the heart of the Old Town.

Many local bars and restaurants remain open throughout the day, creating a lively atmosphere despite many shops and businesses being closed.

The Fiesta includes the annual Vila de Xàbia community awards at the Ayuntamiento de Xàbia.

Although quieter than many of Javea's famous fiestas, the Day of the Valencian Community is an important civic celebration.

Highlights include:

• Official ceremony at Javea Town Hall
• Presentation of the Premis 9 d'Octubre de la Vila de Xàbia, recognising residents for civic achievement and community service
• Valencian flags displayed throughout the town
• Restaurants and cafés welcoming locals and visitors during the public holiday
• Community celebrations honouring Valencian history and traditions

The 2026 Programme is not yet available.
