Local festivals in San Antonio de Benagéber
The usual celebration of the San Isidro Labrador and San Roque patronal festivities lasts about nine days in the first half of August. The Town Hall square, the town centre and municipal venues host the proclamation, music, shows, children's activities and outdoor gatherings. The Town Council, the clavarios representing both patron saints, peñas, associations and residents organise and take part in the festivities.
Paellas, games and patronal events
The paella gathering fills streets and spaces in the town centre with plots shared by groups of friends and families. Dominoes, truc and parcheesi championships, community suppers and intergenerational activities accompany the festival cycle. Events honouring San Isidro and San Roque include the religious celebration and procession of the images through the municipality, involving the clavarios, parish and residents.
Other events: the town road race
The Legua de Sant Antoni de Benaixeve usually opens the patronal calendar with an urban road race involving runners, families, volunteers and municipal services. Music, festival bars and fireworks complete a celebration that uses the square and streets as places for the community to gather.
