Once again, September and October pay tribute to the design of our region
Do you like design? Are you thinking about redecorating your home? Looking for inspiration for a new project?
Between 11 September and 15 October 2026 a new edition of «València Design Fest» will take place, the city's biggest gathering of design-related activities, joining forces this year with Feria Hábitat, Textilhogar, Espacio Cocina SICI, 360 by Cevisama and the Nude fair.
Mark it in your diary and come and soak up some design.
What is Design Fest
It's a festival that puts Valencian design firmly in the spotlight every year.
And how does it do it? With exhibitions, talks, podcasts, presentations, children's workshops, emerging talent projects, a film season at La Filmoteca and themed routes around the city.
The event brings together companies and professionals from all over the world to discover first-hand the local talent and the great creative capacity of València, recognised by UNESCO as a City of Design.
What's more, this edition will feature Poland as guest country, adding new collaborations and a major exhibition at Galería Pasaje 94.
