Alboraya’s main festivities take place during the first week of July, though in some years, they begin on the last weekend of June. These celebrations are dedicated to the town’s patron, Saint Christopher, whose feast day is celebrated on July 10th. Over time, the variety of events has expanded, with most taking place in the historic center and the fairground area on Paseo de Aragón, a central location between different parts of town. In recent years, some activities have moved to the nearby industrial district, where it meets the urban center. However, all three areas—the historic center, the industrial district, and Paseo de Aragón—are within a short ten-minute walk of each other.
The most traditional festivities remain in the historic center, where processions and religious celebrations take place, as well as the blessing of animals and livestock contests. Vehicles are also blessed during the festivities, and farmers gather for traditional breakfasts organized by the San Cristóbal Agricultural Cooperative and the Municipal Agricultural Council. The streets come alive with the Moors and Christians parade, the ringing of church bells, and exhibitions curated by women’s associations and other community groups. Sporting events are also part of the celebrations, including galocha matches—a traditional Valencian handball game—and frontenis competitions.
In Plaza del Carmen, children's activities fill the afternoons. Meanwhile, in the fairground area, various local associations set up booths where they serve dinner every night, creating a warm and festive atmosphere that brings neighbors and visitors together. The fairground is also home to the festival’s biggest concerts, featuring well-known Spanish artists. In recent years, performers such as Rosario Flores, David Civera, Sergio Dalma, Marta Sánchez, Dúo Dinámico, Orquesta Mondragón, Pecos, and Revólver have taken the stage.
In the area where Paseo de Aragón, the cultural center, and the industrial district meet, a dedicated youth zone has emerged in recent years. Here, youth associations set up their own stands, and concerts are organized based on the preferences of young people in the community, within the available resources.
