Everything on in Alicante — live events, gigs, markets, fiestas and nightlife for today, tonight and this week. Updated regularly, free to browse.
Alicante's calendar is anchored by the Hogueras de San Juan in June — the city's huge bonfire festival, a Festival of International Tourist Interest, with mascletàs, the flower offering, nightly fireworks and the midnight Cremà on 24 June. The rest of the year has big set-pieces too: Alicante Gastronómica each October, and a full Christmas of lights on the Explanada and Rambla ending with one of Spain's grandest Three Kings parades.
Day to day, there's the big Babel street market on Thursdays and Saturdays, concerts across the city's venues, and the beach-club season out at San Juan. This page keeps the coming days — tonight, this weekend and the week ahead — in one place, updated as events are confirmed.

In June — the main days run roughly 20–24 June, climaxing at midnight on 24 June with the Cremà, when the giant satirical monuments are burned. It's a Festival of International Tourist Interest and the city's biggest celebration, with daily mascletàs in Plaza de los Luceros.
