Local festivals in Crevillent
Crevillent Holy Week, with documented roots in the 17th century, combines devotion, art and choral music over several days. The Septenary to the Virgen de los Dolores precedes the processions; characteristic moments include the silence of the old town streets on Tuesday night, the preparation and arrival of the religious floats, and the meeting of the images on Easter Sunday.
Moors and Christians
The patronal festivities in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi are usually celebrated in early October. Moorish and Christian comparsas, festival officers and bands take part in entrances, parades, embassies and community events coordinated by the local festival association.
Other celebrations in neighbourhoods and outlying villages
The cultural calendar also includes celebrations organised in neighbourhoods and outlying villages, among them San Isidro, San Pascual, San Juan, San Cayetano, Santa Clara, Virgen de la Salud and San Rafael. These festivals maintain the participation of associations, parishes and residents across the municipality.
