Orihuela schedules three afternoons of activities for Local Trade Day
The programme will run from 22 to 24 October, from 5pm to 8pm, in the municipality’s squares, streets and public spaces.
Orihuela will host three afternoons of street activities for Local Trade Day, from Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 October 2026. Organised by the Department of Trade, the programme will run each day from 5pm to 8pm at various locations across the municipality. According to the Town Council, it is designed to offer family entertainment and promote local businesses.
On the first day, Thursday 22, there will be children’s workshops, bouncy castles with supervisors, music and entertainment in Plaza Nueva and Plaza de la Centuria Romana. Activities will be spread across both locations in the centre of Orihuela during the three-hour programme.
On Friday 23, activities will move to Calle Mayor and Patriarca Antioquía. A 360-degree photo booth, a giant piano and a track featuring an LED robot will be set up there. There will also be workshops, music and entertainment for people visiting these streets during the afternoon.
On Saturday 24, Parque Severo Ochoa will host sports and entertainment activities. These will include 3×3 basketball, archery and speedball, as well as storytelling, a 360-degree photo booth, music and entertainment. The programme combines activities for children and families with sports and games in public spaces.
The Town Council is marking Local Trade Day, which is celebrated on 25 October each year. In 2026, the date falls on a Sunday, so the municipal activities are taking place over the preceding three days. For residents, the programme offers an afternoon leisure option in different parts of Orihuela and an opportunity to visit its shopping streets over the weekend.
Trade councillor Vicente Pina has invited residents and visitors to take part and support local businesses. The initiative forms part of the council’s commercial promotion activities planned for 2026, which include campaigns throughout the year and street events to attract people to local businesses.
Orihuela also organised events to mark the occasion in 2024. That year, the Town Council announced activities on 25 October with an eighties theme in Plaza Nueva and Plaza de la Centuria Romana, as well as routes through the town centre. The 2026 programme once again uses public spaces, with activities spread across three days and different locations in the municipality.
