9th October- Festivities of Valencian Community

The Valencia Region celebrates its fiesta on October 9, in commemoration of the entrance of King Jaime I in the city of Valencia, which took place in 1238. This celebration also commemorates the birth of the people of Valencia, as the Aragonese king granted its own laws called Furs that would politically govern the territory of Valencia until 1707.

The program for the official day of the Valencia Region consists of numerous and varied events that begin on the eve, October 8 with the celebration of a firework display on the old riverbed of river Turia in the city of Valencia. On October 9 official events take place that originate from a privilege of King Pedro el Ceremonioso in 1365. The Valencia flag, the Reial Senyera, is lowered from main balcony of the Town Hall of Valencia and then the civic procession starts through the city streets until reaching the Cathedral. The religious service of Te Deum takes place there and then the procession continues until arriving at the Palau de la Generalitat, headquarters of the Government of Valencia, where the Hymn of the Valencia Region is sung. Celebrations then move to Alfonso el Magnánimo Square, where a floral tribute is made in front of the equestrian statue of Jaime I. After this, the retinue heads again for the Town Hall concluding the event with a shot from a mascletà.

The fiesta of Sant Dionís is celebrated on October 9. This saint is traditionally considered as the patron saint of lovers and there is the custom of giving the gift of a Mocaorà, a silken scarf containing marzipan pastries handcrafted by Valencia’s confectioners.
