Jávea -like many towns in the Costa Blanca- will celebrate in the coming days the Festival of San Antonio, patron saint of animals. This time, The Tiraset group of Javea is on charge of the organization of several events for the amusement of all who wish to participate.
The first event for the festival of San Antonio in Jávea takes place on Saturday 14 January in the historic center of town. At 18:30 h. there will be a parade through the downtown streets which ends with the burning of a Pine tree at San Antonio.
Javea has formally demanded the “Nit dels Focs” (night of the fires) —which takes place every year from midnight of 23 June— to be declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in the Region of Valencia.
The Nit dels Focs (also called San Juan festival) is a very special day in Jávea. The residents pride in it and agree that this important title is a very good way to helping them share this event with the rest of the Region.
For this, the Town Council has prepared a dossier with all the details of this event and has sent it to the Tourism Director of the province of Alicante, so that they start with the legal paperwork.
Once again like every year, the town of Jávea has organized several events to celebrate the Day of the Valencia Region on 9 October, as this day marks the entrance to the city of Valencia by King James I in 1238.
The scheduled events will start on 6 October at 20:00 h, with a Ignaci Mora Lecture in the House of Culture about the Arab-Valencian Poetry.
On 7 October there are two scheduled events: one at 10:30 h in the C.P. Graüll, starring Scura Splats performing the play “Monsters”, and the other will be the “Musical Arts Center Concert” which will take place at 22:00 pm in the Church of Sant Bertomeu.
As promised in previous posts, today we bring the rest of the schedule for the fiestas at the Harbour of Jávea 2011, including the full program from Sunday 4 September through last day of the festival, Thursday 8 September.
