January to March 2027

The first quarter is the busiest for festivals. Listings: January, February and March.

Three Kings and the cyclo-cross

The Cabalgata is always on 5 January; in 2026 it left Parque de Elche at 18:00 and finished at the Julio Iglesias Auditorium. The UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup returns on Sunday 17 January 2027, confirmed by Visit Benidorm.

Benidorm Fest, 23–30 January

EFE reports an opening on Saturday 23 January, semi-finals on 26 and 28 January and the final on Saturday 30 January at the 3,000-capacity Palau d'Esports l'Illa. RTVE had not confirmed when we checked. Around 900 songs were entered and up to 20 acts can be chosen. Tickets go on sale in November 2026. After RTVE withdrew from Eurovision 2026, the 2027 rules say the winner represents Spain only if RTVE takes part.

Benisoul and Carnival

Benisoul runs from 10 to 14 February at Sinatras, 13:00–03:00, 16+. Carnival is expected on Saturday 13 February, the first Saturday after Ash Wednesday; the council has not confirmed it.

St Patrick's Day and Easter

St Patrick's Day falls on a Wednesday; in 2026 the council added a stage on Calle Bilbao and allowed music from 12:00 to 20:00, and the Shamrock has celebrated for about 30 years. Holy Week runs from Palm Sunday 21 March to Easter Sunday 28 March.

April to August 2027

Spring and summer have fewer fixed dates. The Elvis Festival has no confirmed 2027 date, nor does the Iberia Festival, which played 23 May and 26 September in 2026.

The Hoguera La Cala commission marks San Juan with a flower offering on 23 June and the burning of its monument on the night of 24 June. Spanish band El Barrio is listed for Friday 16 July at 21:00 at SkyFest Benidorm. Note that the Low Festival has moved to Torrevieja and its 30 July–1 August 2027 dates are not a Benidorm event. Listings: April, May, June, July and August.

September to December 2027

Autumn is fiesta season. Benidorm Pride is expected from about 31 August to 5 September, with the parade on Saturday 4 September, following 2026's 1–6 September pattern. Moros y Cristianos is expected around the first weekend of October, after 1–4 October in 2026.

The Fiestas Mayores Patronales usually end on the Wednesday after the second Sunday of November, pointing to about 13–17 November 2027, and the Fancy Dress Party to Thursday 18 November. The half marathon is usually in November but 2027 was not listed. Christmas lights and the New Year's Eve party in Plaza de la Navidad close the year. Listings: September, October, November and December.

Still to come in late 2026

Three dates remain this autumn. Benidorm council confirms the Fiestas Mayores Patronales for 7–11 November 2026. The Fancy Dress Party is expected on Thursday 12 November 2026 in Rincón de Loix but has not been announced. The Benidorm Half Marathon and 10k are confirmed for Saturday 21 November 2026.
