The Great Valencia Fair - Gran Feria de Valencia - is over 140 years old and takes place throughout July each year. Known formerly as the July Festival or Fair.
Locals and visitors alike enjoy hundreds of events and activities around the city for the month-long Gran Fira in July, which was formerly known as the July Festival or Fair.
It was first created to provide entertainment in the city in the summer, to try to prevent locals leaving for other destinations and to attract visitors from further afield too.
The first festival took place on 21 July 1871, with impressive horseback parades, pavilions, plant exhibitions and markets.
