Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos 2026

The Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos 2026 fill València with colour, gunpowder and music throughout October, as the event listing describes it, in tribute to the city's history and Mediterranean tradition. The Jardín del Turia, in the stretch between the Puente de la Exposición and the Puente de las Flores, hosts the Mercado Medieval (Medieval Market) from October 2 to 13, starting on the 2nd at 20:00.

A tribute to Mediterranean tradition

The available description places the medieval market at the centre of the celebrations in the landscaped riverbed park, without detailing whether parades, processions or other events run in parallel elsewhere in the city during that same month. Throughout the year Valencia holds several festivals with strong roots in local identity, of which this is one more within October's festive calendar.

• Medieval market dates: October 2–13, 2026
• Start: October 2, 20:00
• Location: Jardín del Turia, between the Puente de la Exposición and the Puente de las Flores

What isn't specified

The listing does not detail the admission price to the site, the programme of events — parades, processions or performances — beyond the medieval market itself, or the closing time on each day. The festival's official page is the source to check for that full programme. The rest of the year's festive dates in the city are covered in the festival calendar, the riverbed gardens are covered in the guide to Valencia's gardens and parks, and another major festival of Valencian identity is covered in Falles de València.
