Festivals in Vinaròs

Fair and Festes de Sant Joan and Sant Pere de Vinaròs

Date, duration and usual places. The Vinaròs fair links the festivities of Sant Joan and Sant Pere during the second half of June. It takes place in the port, the promenade, the urban centre and the fairgrounds, with bonfires, music, fishing events, gastronomic proposals and popular activities. On 20 January, Sant Sebastià, patron saint of the city, is also celebrated with pilgrimages and traditional events.

The Fira i Festes takes place over several days in the second half of June under the fair privilege granted to the city in 1686. Its programme combines concerts, children's and sports activities and festive events around the port and other parts of the city, with local organisations and schools represented in the court of honour.

Traditions and participation. The arrival of the Canigó Flame, the Sant Joan bonfire, the parades, the proclamation of queens, the Sant Pere events and the final fires make the celebration unique. The City Council, the court of honour, schools, cultural and sports associations, clubs, municipal brigade and citizens participate.
