What to expect

Welcome to the vibrant and colourful festival of Hogueras de San Juan, in Alicante. Held annually from June 20th to 24th, this celebration transforms the city into a lively hub of art, tradition and fun. You'll kick things off with a guided stroll through the city so you can take a look at the "Hogueras" – large artistic structures made of cardboard and stone. These creations, depicting satirical and sometimes funny scenes, are scattered throughout Alicante. After the tour, you'll have some free time to immerse yourself in the festival's unique atmosphere.

The Bonfires of San Juan are a traditional and joyful celebration that marks the beginning of summer. The festival's all about burning useless objects at the summer solstice. During these days, the city is filled with light, colour, music and fireworks. The event kicks off with the Proclamation and the "Planta," when bonfires and lots of different monuments are placed around the city – some of them get up to be 20 metres tall.

The most anticipated moment of the festival is St John's Day, June 24th, when a purifying fire consumes the bonfires during an event known as the "Nit de la Crema." This spectacle is the perfect culmination of your visit, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Alicante's most cherished tradition.
