Ceramics Festival and Parade in Valencia
Categories: parties and traditions.
The town of Manises is celebrating its annual festivities with two events you won’t want to miss.
From 11 to 18 July 2026, Manises is getting down to work to show the world its most emblematic ceramic craftsmanship with a great festival and parade.
This celebration, declared a Festival of Tourist Interest of the Valencian Community, is the perfect opportunity for you to come and learn the secrets of a craft with centuries of history and, who knows, maybe take home a souvenir handmade by a craftsman for free.
What awaits you these days in Manises?
11 and 12 July, 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. – Ceramics Festival – Av. Blasco Ibáñez
Throughout the weekend, the artisans take to the streets to show their techniques live.
You will be able to see at close quarters the modelling on the wheel, the magic of raku, the techniques for painting it or the delicate method of lustre ceramics.
You can even take part in workshops and competitions!
18 July at 7:00 p.m. – Ceramics Parade – C/ Molí de la Llum
The festival's most unique and eagerly awaited event is a parade featuring floats and “clavarios” handing out thousands of ceramic pieces made in Manises along the entire route.
Mortars, bowls, trays, plant pots, the famous "escuraretas" (beautiful small-scale reproductions of everyday tableware) and many other items are the gifts you can take home if you come along to see it.
