A new experience for the Hogueras Fiesta in Alicante. Join us for the amazing Ninots Exhibition and Parade. There will be an optional stop at the Ninot Exhibition in the Antigua Lonja de Pescados (1.50€ entrance) for you to admire the ninots from each of the 200 Hogueras Commissions. Then onto the centre for some tapas before the 3 hour Ninot Parade starts at 19:00, where the Hogueras Commissions parade in fancy dress costumes which represent the theme of their Ninot. 

This is a fun filled night where the locals embrace the fiesta feel!
