What you need to know
- Kids are the performers, in short plays in Valencian verse, so the costumes and staging carry it even for kids who don't follow the words
- Best plan: a neighborhood altar on the feast-day afternoon, usually the second Monday after Easter (Apr 13 in 2026), when altars like Carme, Russafa and Mercat stage their milacres
- The mascletà is very loud: it fires in Plaça de Tetuán after the midday flower offering, so bring ear protection for little ones and stand back
About
Every spring, Valencia's neighborhood altars send their children to act out miracles of Sant Vicent Ferrer, patron saint of the Valencian Community. The short plays are in Valencian verse, performed in period costume, and the altars compete for a prize. The festival adds flower offerings, processions, church bells, a midday mascletà and fireworks. It suits school-age kids who enjoy dressing up and noise.
