Question 1

When is it?

Accepted Answer

The 2027 dates are not out yet. The fair runs through July and closes with the Battle of Flowers on the last Sunday of the month, which falls on Jul 25 in 2027.

Question 2

Is the Battle of Flowers good for kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes, from about 4, as spectators. The carnations fly between the float riders and the ticketed stands; from the free spots along the fence on Paseo de la Alameda kids see the floats up close. Arrive early and bring water.

Question 3

Do we need to plan which events to go to?

Accepted Answer

Nearly 300 events run across the city, so pick a few ahead from the program on feriadejuliovlc.es. Some are ticketed, others are free. Search it for "teatro" or "actividades familiares" for kids who aren't into music or fireworks.

Question 4

How late do the fireworks run?

Accepted Answer

The biggest displays start at 11:59pm, too late for most preschoolers. With young kids, watch from a balcony or skip it, and pick the Battle of Flowers at 8pm instead.
