Ontinyent Moros i Cristians festivities

Overview

The municipality of Ontinyent in Valencia scheduled the 2026 Moros i Cristians festivities for August 17 to 24. The planned program included various musical performances, such as a concert by singer Gisela, known as ‘la veu de Disney’, and several orchestral shows at La Glorieta.

During the festival, high temperatures necessitated logistical adjustments to the schedule to protect the public. The Banda Simfònica d’Ontinyent performance was moved from Plaza Major to the Teatre Echegaray, and the Gisela concert was rescheduled to 20:00 to avoid peak heat. Despite these changes, the event saw significant participation, including a ‘Majors Actius’ event that drew over 1,300 attendees.
