When is the Santa Lucía Festival in Borriol?

Held around 13 December, the festival brings people together in the streets and keeps alive a tradition with deep roots in the town’s cultural identity. Its origins are linked to old winter rituals and the symbolic burning of gathered firewood.

At the heart of the celebrations is the large bonfire that lights up the town centre, recalling historical traditions associated with local landmarks such as the Rajolar de Baix Chapel and the San Bartolomé Parish Church.

The programme also includes street parades, music, fireworks and traditional local food for both residents and visitors. It’s a great time to wander through the old town, explore Borriol’s architectural heritage and experience one of the area’s most authentic cultural events.
