The Nit de les Fogueretes is a magical night-time pilgrimage held in Agullent, Valencia. Every September, local people make their way up to the San Vicente Ferrer Hermitage by the light of lanterns and torches.

The Nit de les Fogueretes, Night of the Little Bonfires, in Agullent, Valencia, is a celebration with deep historical roots and a distinctive atmosphere that forms an important part of the cultural heritage of La Vall d'Albaida.

When is the Nit de les Fogueretes in Agullent?

It takes place every year at midnight on the first Friday of September. The heart of the celebration is a night-time pilgrimage to the San Vicente Ferrer Hermitage, with participants carrying lit lanterns and torches as they make their way uphill. Once they reach the hermitage, the crowd sings traditional songs and takes part in vespers before the symbolic anointing with blessed oil, a ritual traditionally associated with protection.

The evening ends on the esplanade outside the hermitage, where a large communal bonfire is lit and the lanterns and torches are burned as music plays and people gather together. It’s a memorable way to experience Agullent’s cultural heritage and see one of its most deeply rooted traditions after dark.
