Local festivals in Nules

Nules's August festival calendar centres on Sant Roc by the beach and the patronal festivities of Sant Bartomeu in the town.

Usual celebration

Sant Roc is usually celebrated around 16 August in the coastal area, with sporting, bull-running and religious events. The Sant Bartomeu festivities last for several days around 24 August and bring the opening call, bull events, music, food, children's activities, Mass and a procession to the streets and squares of Nules. The Town Council coordinates the programme with local clubs, associations and the town's festival representatives.
