The municipality of Peníscola organized its 2026 Patronal Festivals to honor the patron saint, Mare de Déu de l’Ermitana. The scheduled program, announced in late August, included approximately one hundred events such as cultural, sporting, and religious activities, as well as the introduction of a new leisure space called ‘Jaleo’.

During the celebrations in early September, festivities included a procession through the old town and traditional dances in the town square. Activities at the Plaza de Armas featured ‘cavallets’, a Moors and Christians battle dance, and a human tower formation by the Grup Cultural de Danses.
