The Campanar neighborhood will be decked out in its finery this Thursday, February 19, to honor its patron saint and bring an end to its 19-day patron saint festivities. The program includes a mascletá and fireworks display by Pirotecnia Hermanos Caballer.
The mascletá is scheduled for 2 p.m. on the site located at the intersection of Avenida Maestro Rodrigo with Calle Maestro Bagant and Calle Marines.
After nightfall, and as the official closing ceremony, the sky over Valencia will light up again at 10 p.m. at the same location as the daytime display. A fireworks display will be launched from here, bringing to a close the festivities that will begin early in the morning.

Before the noise, it will be time for the liturgy and the Blessed Virgin of Campanar. The events will begin very early, at 7 a.m., with the Mass of Discovery.
Shortly after, at 8:30 a.m., the traditional despertà in the church square will announce the start of the big festival to the entire neighborhood.
The morning agenda will be completed with the transfer of the image at 11:00 a.m. and the solemn High Mass. In the afternoon, religious fervor will take to the streets with the general procession at 8:00 p.m., which will travel through the heart of the neighborhood before giving way to the closing show by Hermanos Caballer.
