The Paseo Vista Alegre in Torrevieja will host the 2026 Maritime Market from 23 to 25 October, a vibrant event that will blend music, entertainment, and maritime-themed shows throughout the weekend. Organised by the Torrevieja City Council's Department of Commerce and Hospitality in collaboration with La Fragua de Vulcano, the programme includes pirate characters, musical parades, and fire performances.
The market will officially open on Friday, 23 October, at 18:00 with the performance titled "A careful pirate" accompanied by live music. The first day will feature various events including "The secret of Blackbeard," the musical parade "Echoes of distant ports," and the fire show "Fire in the Bay," culminating in a final musical parade of the evening.
Saturday will offer the most extensive programme, with activities scheduled for both morning and afternoon. Highlights include "A pirate adrift," "Land ho!", "The time traveller," and "A lost castaway," alongside musical parades and an evening performance of juggling and fire.
On Sunday, the musical entertainment will continue with performances such as "Sounds of the tides," "Secrets of the ocean," "To the rhythm of the tide," and "The mysteries of the sea." The event will conclude with a farewell parade at 20:45, wrapping up the festivities at 22:00.
