This Saturday, July 18, Valencia celebrates the Gran Nit de la Feria de Julio, a date that is always special and features a wide variety of festive, cultural, and fireworks-related activities suitable for all ages.
A day filled with musical performances, children’s entertainment, shows, and all kinds of events that will begin at 10:00 a.m. and conclude in the Town Hall Square at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday with the Máxima Orchestra (following the fireworks display).
Furthermore, as it does every year, the July Fair also celebrates culture and outreach, and—in addition to the festival program—offers a series of musical performances and visits to museums and monuments during special evening hours with free admission (starting at 8:00 p.m.). You can now make reservations to secure your admission by calling the phone number listed for each museum or monument.
