May 18 and 19 Pozo Aledo fiestas honouring San Isidro Labrador

Pozo Aledo in San Javier pays tribute to its beloved patron saint, San Isidro Labrador, whose feast day falls on May 15, during an action-packed weekend filled with engaging activities designed to foster tradition and togetherness.

Presented by the Festival Councillor, Alba Sánchez, here's what you can expect on May 18 and 19:

Kick off the celebration on Saturday morning May 18 with a delightful children's party featuring breakfast treats, exhilarating games and even a foam party.

Then test your skills at the thrilling 3x3 Futsal Championships, open to kids and adults aged 14 and older, taking place at the multi-sport court from 12 noon.

Once hunger strikes, indulge in mouth-watering BBQ fare for lunch offered at an affordable rate of just 1 euro per plate, complete with drinks and live music courtesy of Cafe Il Trovatore.

Dance away the afternoon with spirited performances from the renowned Kar P Diem group.

At 6.30pm, witness the naming ceremony of the Queen of the Feast, culminating in an electrifying act by none other than Michel Havana himself. Prepare to be dazzled before savouring a cold supper spread laid out for everyone present.

Start the day on the right foot with a traditional blood sausage breakfast on Sunday May 19, followed by the Parade of Horses and Carriages accompanied by a live performance of Cuadro Flamenco del Levante.

At 12.30pm, the San Javier Symphonic Band will offer a concert inside the church and upon exiting, treat your taste buds to a piping hot serving of Paella Valenciana, available once again for just 1 euro per plate with a drink.

Finish off the weekend with a 7.30pm mass in honour of the Patron Saint, which will take place during a procession followed by a spectacular fireworks display.
