Fogueres Xàbia 2025 programme
When summer arrives in Spain’s Marina Alta, there’s one celebration that truly sets the tone: Xàbia’s Fogueres de Sant Joan. In 2025, the festivities return more vibrant than ever, packed with fireworks, live music, traditions, and unforgettable moments.
Curious about when the concerts, mascletàs, parades or the grand cremà take place? Here’s your updated guide to the Fogueres de Xàbia 2025 programme.
What are the Fogueres de Sant Joan in Xàbia? 🔥
These local festivities in honour of Saint John have been celebrated in Xàbia (also known as Jávea) since the mid-20th century. For over a week, the old town transforms into a colourful, lively stage filled with music, processions, fireworks, traditional rituals, and cultural events. It all leads up to the fiery finale: the symbolic Cremà.
If you’re planning a cultural getaway, this is one of the best times of the year to discover Xàbia. The Fogueres give you a front-row seat to local life, traditions and the welcoming spirit of the Mediterranean.
