Valencia July Fair
Feria de Julio 2011The Valencia July Fair (Feria de Julio) was originally a flower and produce fair devised in 1871. The fair gradually progressed to becoming the most popular fair enjoyed by all and in 1891 included the now famous Battle of Flowers.
Entertainment ranges from ballet to rock and jazz plus folk music with traditional dances such as the zarzuela.
Concerts are held at the Jardins del Reial (known locally as Viveros Gardens - see Valencia parks), Palau de la Musica and there's open air cinema, traditional fiestas and the many sporting events which take place on the beach and around the port area of Valencia making this a wonderful time to visit Valencia.

BULLFIGHTING FESTIVAL OF SAN JAIMEBullfights are held in the central bullring for around ten days and every Saturday there are fantastic Castles pyrotechnicses - firework displays on the beach.
BATTLE OF FLOWERSThe fair finishes with parades of beautiful floats along the Paseo de la Alameda and the traditional Battle of Flowers when the Valencianas on the floats throw flowers at passers by. The heavy scent of flowers fills the air and the street becomes a blanket of beautiful flowers.
The magic of this beautiful city is enjoyed by all during the Valencia July Fair and there are many late night parties held in the warm summer evenings on the beaches of Valencia.
