Between 2nd and 6th July, you can enjoy a whole host of activities, concerts, shows, markets, parades, firework displays and competitions in emblematic locations all around the city of Valencia thanks to its July Fair.
On 4th, 5th, 10th and 11th of this month, one of the most keenly anticipated events will be taking place; the International Music Band Competition, which has been held for over 120 years. A total of 27 bands, 23 of which are competing and the other four appearing as guest acts, will be performing at the Opera House and Bullring.
From 2nd until 25th July, you have the chance to see live performances by Fangoria, La Excepcion, Chambao, Bumbury, Joan Manel Serrat, Miguel Bose & The Cabriolets, Amaral, Anastacia, Yan Tiersen and James Taylor. But there's even more: following the success of last year, on 18th July, the biggest night of the Fair, known as the Gran Nit de Juliol, will be bringing you a wide variety of cultural acts and entertainment, whilst the city's museums and art galleries will remain open from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. with free entry.
Furthermore, on 11th July, the second Ballroom Dancing Competition will be taking place in the Plaza de la Virgen square, and on the last Sunday of the month, the traditional flower show, known as the Batalla de Flores (literally flower battle) will fill the Paseo de la Alameda boulevard with light and colour. In July... do not even think about leaving Valencia!
