The Department of Festivities of Peñíscola Town Council has unveiled the programme for the Winter Festivities, which will take place in the town from Friday, 20 November, to Sunday, 22 November.

Over the course of three days, the town will host a wide range of activities bringing together residents and visitors at various locations throughout the historic centre. Highlights include the traditional Paella Day and the afternoon party organised by the Peña en Almíbar.

Most of the events will take place in Santa María Square, Saiz de Carlos Street and Plaça de Bous. The latter will provide the setting for the official start of the festivities on Friday, with the traditional firecracker ceremony led by the Festival Queen and her Court of Honour.

The programme will combine music, gastronomy and tradition, featuring the traditional running of the bulls, live orchestra performances and activities for all ages. The much-anticipated Paella Day will also return, including its cooking competition, alongside a giant fideuà and a range of activities for younger visitors.

The musical programme will also feature a tribute concert to El Canto del Loco.
