Benidorm runs on events all year, and the biggest is the November Fiestas Mayores Patronales — a week for the Virgen del Sufragio and Sant Jaume of parades, the flower offering, mascletàs, correfocs and fireworks that ends with the Fancy Dress Day (Día del Disfraz), famously the largest fancy-dress party in Europe. Autumn also brings the Iberia Festival at the open-air Julio Iglesias Auditorium and Oktoberfest at Plaza Triangular.
The everyday rhythm is the big Rincón de Loix street market on Wednesdays and Sundays, the nightly dinner-and-shows at Benidorm Palace, and the wall of live-music bars across the New Town. Come winter it's the Christmas lights, market and ice rink, then the Three Kings parade in January. This page keeps the coming days — tonight, this weekend and the week ahead — in one place, updated as events are confirmed.
