The Orihuela Costa will host its own Christmas market this year, thanks to the efforts of the Orihuela Costa Festival Committee. Running from 6 December to 6 January, the market will be set up in the municipal car park next to the Zenia Boulevard shopping center. This new attraction will complement the City Council’s activity program, including the ‘Ginger Village’.
The market promises a variety of attractions such as a fair, visits from Disney characters, cultural events, children’s workshops, live music, and food stalls. Rosa Cárcamo, a member of the festival committee, highlighted the hard work put in by the committee and local residents. The festivities will kick off with a lighting ceremony on 6 December, featuring activities for both children and adults.
Formed last year, the Festival Committee was established in response to residents’ requests for a dedicated festive calendar for the coast. Despite limited council support for events like the Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day parades, the committee has successfully organized a Carnival parade and a San Juan festival, with backing from local businesses and the council.
This year’s Christmas market aims to bring festive cheer to the Orihuela Costa community, offering a vibrant and joyful celebration for all.
