San Roque Fiesta in Oliva

The fiestas of the Cristo de San Roque have been celebrated in Oliva since the 17th century. It is a fiesta based on the time when the Moors were forced to convert to Christianity. In these fiestas, celebrated between 1 and 3 May, you can enjoy a great number of acts representative of our most ancient traditions. At the “pregón”, with all the revellers dressed in traditional style, the start of the fiesta is announced to the whole town.

A Novena is celebrated in the chapel of the Cristo, considered a jewel of the baroque because of the symbolism and beauty of the paintings covering its central vault. In the streets there are fiestas for everyone: theatre and children’s events, thrilling games of the Valencian ballgame “pelota”, colourful fancy-dress parades and, of course, the lively parties that fill our streets with revelry and fun. The fiesta ends with a solemn procession in honour of the Santísimo Cristo.
