Spanish towns host summer festivals and fairs in July‑August 2026

Jumilla’s historic Auto de la Asunción will be staged on 7‑8 August in the town’s parish church. The sixth edition involves more than a hundred actors, musicians and technicians, with new lighting, stage and workshop improvements. Tickets require a €10 donation, with a reduced €8 fee for those under 25.

Reus will hold the Fira de Sant Jaume from 24‑26 July, featuring nightly horse shows, a traditional 58‑kg sack‑carrying race over 900 m, and a 10‑km night run between Reus and Riudoms that organisers expect to attract over a thousand participants.

Inca’s patronal festivities run from 14‑26 July, offering a programme of children’s activities, dance showcases, water‑play, street performances and a closing night with a DJ set.

Cubia will celebrate its traditional August fiestas on 14‑16 August with a solemn mass, paella and barbecue, a rope‑pulling contest, and a classic‑car concentration that includes a route, communal meal and evening verbena.

Alzira’s Festes de Sant Bernat (17‑23 July) will be free and decentralized, highlighted by the farewell concert of the local band La Fúmica on 22 July and a series of free concerts, variety shows and a final fireworks display.

In the casteller scene, the towns of Altafulla and Torredembarra recorded several extra‑high human towers in July, including multiple "gamma extra" constructions such as a 5‑de‑9 with folre and a 2‑de‑9 with folre and manilles, marking a record‑breaking month for Catalan tower‑building groups.
