ORIHUELA COSTA celebrates the second annual San Juan later this month. From Thursday 12th until Monday 30th June, the Comisión de Fiestas Orihuela Costa has organised a calendar of spectacular evening activities to mark the historic Spanish festival.
The traditional fiesta encompasses music, dance performances, gastronomy, fireworks, competitions, and 19 days of the best entertainment from local musicians and acclaimed DJs.
Every evening from 21:00 at Zenia Boulevard's car park in front of the Leroy Merlin store, visitors will find a stage with live music and talent competitions, a fair and crafts market, a bonfire, and speciality bars serving food and drinks.
Highlights of the Orihuela Costa San Juan Festival include the official inauguration party, organised family-friendly events and children's activities, and a spectacular finale evening with fireworks.
