Benidorm Fiestas
Friday 6 November to Wednesday 11 November
Benidorm, Spain
Although many fiestas run throughout the whole year, this is the big one for Benidorm – The Benidorm November Fiestas.
Thousands of Benilovers plan a Benidorm holiday to coincide with the celebration of the town’s patron saints.
The church of San Jaime in the Old Town is decked out with flowers while the streets across the whole resort are alive with outdoor theatre, live music, colourful float parades, puppet shows and more.
The town will be full of peñas (organisers’ private parties), which will go on long into the night.
During the 6-day event there’s something for everyone, from sport and competitions to cultural events and religious processions.
Benidorm Fiestas highlights
The Fiestas honour Benidorm’s two patron saints, the Virgen del Sufragio and Sant Jaume, and the story behind them goes back to 1740, when a burning, crewless ship washed up on the shore and a carved figure of the Virgin was found in its ashes.
On the Saturday, that discovery is re-enacted on Poniente Beach. On the Sunday, a flower offering fills the Old Town with colour as people in traditional dress carry bouquets to the church of San Jaime. Through the week there are daily mascletàs (loud, rhythmic firecracker displays), a correfoc fire run, parades of the peñas, open-air concerts and, on the final Wednesday, a parade of floats followed by fireworks over Poniente Beach.
Good to know: mascletàs and firecrackers are very loud, so worth knowing if you’re with children or anyone sensitive to noise.
Book your hotel early, as this is one of the busiest weeks of Benidorm’s year.
And don’t forget, the day after the Fiestas end, Thursday 12 November, is Fancy Dress Day, when tens of thousands of people in costume fill The Strip.
CF Benidorm
Sunday 8 November - 11:00 am
Estadio Municipal Guillermo Amor, Avenida Ciudad Deportiva, Benidorm, Spain
We remember regularly watching Benidorm CF playing at the Estadio Municipal de Foietes before the stadium was renamed Estadio Municipal de Guillermo Amor in 2010, to honour Benidorm’s favourite son, Guillermo Amor. A product of the famous La Masia, Amor played for the great Barcelona team of the early 1990s under the legendary Johan Cruyff.
After taking 16 points from the first six games of the 2026/27 season the growing British Supporters Club will be out en masse as Santa Pola CF make the trip up the coast to face an unbeaten Benidorm side.
Benidorm Fancy Dress Day
Thursday 12 November
Calle Gerona, Benidorm, Spain
The day after the November Fiestas end, Benidorm throws one of the biggest fancy dress parties in Europe. On the Thursday, tens of thousands of Benilovers fill the streets around Calle Gerona, Calle Lepanto, Calle Derramador and Calle Mallorca in Levante, and anything goes: superheroes, nuns, Smurfs and whole stag and hen groups in matching outfits.
The party officially starts at 2pm and carries on long into the night.
Roads around The Strip close to traffic from 11am, the bars spill out onto the pavements, and the crowd is famously good-natured.
Book your hotel early, as Fancy Dress week is one of the busiest of the year. Keep an eye on your belongings in the crowds, and bring layers, because November evenings get cool.
Read our full guide to Benidorm Fancy Dress Day for what to wear, where to stand and how to make the most of it.
