Jávea is turning up the volume this April with the return of the Arenal Blues Festival, now in its 4th edition. From 23rd to 26th April 2026, the Arenal area transforms into a lively open-air stage filled with rhythm, soul, and seaside atmosphere.
If you love live music (or just a good excuse to enjoy Jávea at its best), this is one event you won’t want to miss.
🌊 A stunning seaside setting
The festival takes place along Paseo Tenista David Ferrer, right by Playa del Arenal, with two main stages:
- Day Stage – relaxed daytime performances
- Night Stage – lively evening concerts
It’s the perfect mix of beach, music, and spring weather.
