The city of Llíria hosts the traditional Sant Vicent Festivities until April 19, with an extensive program organized by the City Council and the Brotherhood of Sant Vicent Ferrer, including religious, cultural, and sporting events.

The celebrations will officially begin on Friday, April 10, at the Banda Primitiva theater with the Magic Comedy show by Maestros de la Magia. The Councillor for Festivities, Mª José Llopis, highlighted that the first weekend will concentrate the most traditional events in Sant Vicent Park, considered the heart of the festive activities.
On Sunday, April 12, Sant Vicent Park will host the XXVI Paella Festival, followed by a musical performance by the group Valera. On Monday, April 13, the day of the co-patron saint, a rogation will take place with the pilgrimage of the image of Sant Vicent to the park, where a popular lunch and a solemn mass will be offered at the hermitage. Due to works in the Plaça Major, the subsequent party will move to the Pla de l’Arc parking lot, featuring a performance by the Tokyo Band Orchestra from 3:00 PM. The municipal decree will regulate the use of fire in Sant Vicent Park between April 12 and 14.

"These festivities are open to everyone, a space full of harmony, feeling, and devotion."
