Moraira is getting ready to raise a glass as the Oktoberfest returns to the town this September, bringing four days of Bavarian celebration to the Costa Blanca. Kicking off on Thursday, September 24 and running through the weekend to Sunday, September 27, this popular gastronomic festival will once again transform the Parking Les Sorts into a lively hub of music, food and entertainment, drawing both locals and visitors into a festive autumn atmosphere.

Four days of Bavarian celebration arrive to the Costa Blanca

Organised by the Commission of Fiestas Sant Vicent Ferrer Teulada 2027 and the Festeros de Moraira 2027, the event has become a highly anticipated favourite on the local calendar. Over the course of the long weekend, the venue will be filled with live performances by local talents, DJ sets and an incredible menu of traditional German-inspired dishes, creating a vibrant mix of culture and celebration in an open-air venue.

Live music and DJ sets throughout the weekend

Live bands and DJs will perform across all four days. From upbeat party sets to more traditional sounds, the programme will keep the energy high well into the night. Regular performers like Ewaldo will return to provide the signature Oktoberfest soundtrack, while additional acts and DJs will keep the atmosphere varied and dynamic.

Bavarian food and delicious local flavours

Food lovers will also find plenty to enjoy, as the event offers a wide selection of Bavarian-style dishes alongside local touches. Visitors can expect classic German favourites served in generous portions, making it as much a gastronomic experience as a musical one. The combination of hearty food, cold beer, and live entertainment has helped the festival build its reputation as one of the most enjoyable end-of-summer events in the area.

A social highlight for locals and expats alike

Oktoberfest in Moraira has also become a social highlight for locals and expatriates, offering a space where people can come together and enjoy a shared cultural evening. The festive setting, with long communal tables and a buzzing crowd, perfectly captures the spirit of the original Bavarian tradition while adapting it to the Mediterranean coast.

With free entry and a full programme spread across four days, the Moraira Oktoberfest promises a lively start to the autumn season. Whether stopping by for the music, the food or simply the atmosphere, visitors can expect a warm welcome and a celebration full of character, flavour and fun.

Elche is preparing to light up the night once again with the return of its highly anticipated Noche en Blanco event, an evening dedicated to culture, creativity and community. Part of a wider European tradition of all-night cultural and artistic festivals, the event, taking place on the evening of September 26 from 6:00pm to midnight, will transform Elche into a vibrant, open-air stage where residents and visitors can explore a wide range of activities, completely free of charge.

What to expect from Elche’s Noche en Blanco: a night of museums, culture, art, and performances

The Noche en Blanco combines culture with a relaxed, festival-like ambience; Elche’s streets and plazas become meeting points where people can gather, socialise and enjoy spontaneous performances or pop-up activities.

Across the town centre and beyond, this year’s programme features dozens of cultural spaces, museums and public venues opening their doors late into the night. From exhibitions to live performances, the event invites people, whether they are locals or visitors, to experience Elche in a different way. During the Noche en Blanco, visitors can wander through illuminated streets and discover corners of the city they might otherwise not have seen.

Art and performances will play a central role in the event. Visitors can experience everything from theatre and dance to music and visual installations, often staged in unique or historic settings. Cultural venues, including exhibition halls, will host special programming, while the town’s outdoor spaces will come alive with live shows and interactive experiences.

More than 15 venues to open late: New spaces join this year’s programme

Many of the activities are scheduled to run continuously throughout the evening and more than 15 cultural venues will take part in the event, allowing attendees to move freely between locations at their own pace. New venues being introduced this year to the Noche en Blanco include Molí del Real, Casa de la Festa and Hort del Gat.

A night of art, music and community

For first-time visitors to this charming Costa Blanca town, the event will offer an ideal introduction to the city’s cultural landscape. From its historic landmarks to its modern creative spaces, Noche en Blanco is a culmination of the town’s artistic identity in a single evening. Meanwhile, for locals, it is a chance to rediscover their town from a new perspective, seeing familiar places transformed by light, music and performance.

With free entry to all activities and a packed schedule spanning multiple disciplines, Noche en Blanco promises to be one of the standout cultural events of the season in Elche. Whether attending a late-night exhibition, enjoying live music in a public square or simply strolling through the lively streets, visitors can expect an unforgettable evening where art and community come together under the night sky.

An upcoming evening of wonder and connection is set to offer locals and visitors a truly different experience from the usual plans in Benidorm: Spirit Medium David Traynor is bringing his acclaimed audience demonstration, Close Encounters with Spirit, to The Soul Bar in the vibrant Costa Blanca hub for a captivating night of spiritual mystery, laughter, and intrigue.

Through his abilities, he will act as a bridge between realms, passing along reassuring messages to demonstrate that life continues beyond the physical world and that spirits continue to watch over us.
