Name: Nit de Sant Joan: Beach Bonfires on Midsummer Night at the Malva-rosa
Start: 2027-06-23
End: 2027-06-23
Location: Platja de la Malva-rosa and Platja del Cabanyal

Question 1

Should I bring my toddler?

Accepted Answer

It is a late, crowded night. A kid under 4 who needs to be asleep by 9pm will have a hard time. If you go with young kids, arrive early in the evening and head home before the midnight crowd peaks.

Question 2

What should we bring?

Accepted Answer

A towel, dry clothes and sandals or shoes you don't mind getting sandy. Bring your own food and drinks for a beach dinner, but no glass: the city asks people not to take glass onto the sand. A waterproof bag for phones and keys helps once everyone is in the water. The city gives out free pruning wood for the fires, so you don't need to carry any.

Question 3

How do we get there?

Accepted Answer

By tram or bus. Metrovalencia runs all night, and the beach stops are Platja Malva-rosa, Platja les Arenes and Cabanyal on lines L4 and L6. EMT runs a special all-night service to the beaches (in 2026, 12 lines from 4pm to 9am). Driving is hard: the city asks you to park before you reach the beach. The beaches are cleared at 4am for cleaning, so plan to leave before then.

Question 4

Can we light our own fire?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only in the marked bonfire zone of Malva-rosa and Cabanyal beaches. Bonfires are banned on every other city beach. Use the wood the city hands out, never fuel to light it, and keep kids back from the flames. Sky lanterns are banned.
