Local festivals in La Pobla de Farnals
The main festivities are usually celebrated over several days during the first half of September in honour of San José, San Félix, the Virgen de la Esperanza and San Francisco. Masses and processions are joined by parades, music, sport, communal meals and the preparation and serving of traditional calderas. Plaça de la Generalitat, Plaça de Sant Vicent and the streets of the historic settlement host much of the shared celebration.
