What you need to know
- Spectator event, no tickets, so you can watch from the curb and leave when kids tire.
- Easter Sunday is the one for little kids: the midday Desfile de Resurrección drops the hoods, and biblical characters throw petals into the crowd (1pm from Mercat del Cabanyal in 2026).
- Usually Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, following Easter; the weekday evening processions are solemn and can run late.
About
Valencia's seaside neighborhoods mark Holy Week with brotherhood processions: hooded and costumed marchers, bands, and sculptures carried through the streets of the Cabanyal, Canyamelar and El Grau. It is a spectator event, solemn rather than lively, with some evening processions that end late. It suits kids who like costumes, drums and watching a parade from the curb.
Where it is
Parroquia de Santa María del Mar
Iglesia de Santa María del Mar, Carrer de la Reina, València, Spain
