The 2024 floods will be commemorated with tributes and marches in Alaquàs, Paiporta and València
Events will take place between 25 and 31 October, including readings, music, awards and a march to the Town Hall square.
Victims’ associations have organised commemorations and marches in Alaquàs, Paiporta and València between 25 and 31 October 2026, marking two years since the floods of 29 October 2024. The programme includes memorial events, an awards ceremony and a march in the regional capital.
The first event will be in Alaquàs. On Sunday 25 October, from 10.30 to 13.30, the Valencia Flood Victims and Those Affected Association will hold the tribute «Memòria, unitat i futur» at the Castell. The programme includes a reading of the victims’ names and musical and cultural performances.
On Thursday 29 October at 19.00, the Associació de Víctimes de la Dana will gather attendees beside the Paiporta ravine for the event «La caixa de la memòria». The event will also remember those affected by Storm Dana Adam.
That same day, Alaquàs Town Council has called a gathering at 19.00 outside the council offices. The council’s programme also includes a tribute at the Auditori Nou on the 17th. These are separate events from those organised by the victims’ associations.
The programme will continue in València on Saturday 31 October. At 11.30, the Asociación Víctimas Mortales DANA 29-O will hold the first «Memoria» awards at the Teatro Talía. The recipients will be José Ángel Núñez, head of Climatology at Aemet in the Valencian Community; À Punt meteorologist Victòria Roselló; and Carmen Amoraga and Maxi Roldán, authors of *Lágrimas de barro*.
In the afternoon, a march will set off from plaça de la Verge at 18.00 and finish in plaça de l’Ajuntament. Marches have also been announced for the 29th in the Foia de Buñol, from Chiva and Cheste, and between Albal and Benetússer. Both will converge beside the ravine between Catarroja and Massanassa.
On 28 September, the judicial proceedings raised the official death toll from the floods in Valencia province to 233. The events commemorate the flooding that struck several Valencian municipalities on 29 October 2024. On the first anniversary, the Associació de Víctimes de la Dana held its tribute at the Teatro Olympia in València.
The events will take place at various locations across the province and are open to anyone wishing to join the commemorations and marches. For residents of Guardamar and the Vega Baja, the programme offers a chance to follow events planned in the affected Valencian municipalities and remember a tragedy whose impact spread across Valencia province.
