FINESTRAT'S San Juan Party night on June 23 has been declared as a Valencian Community event of ‘provincial tourist interest’.

The bash brings together residents and visitors in celebrations that pack out the beach.

Councillor Hector Baldo described it as ‘a magical evening for both the young and old’.

“The beach becomes an annual meeting point for thousands who have been coming for decades,” he added.

This year's entertainment will start at 5.30pm and will include a Zumba session, discos, and live music.

Many other towns will celebrate San Juan Eve leading up to the feast day itself in celebration of Saint John the Baptist.

It coincides with the mid-summer June solstice and many bonfires are lit and leapt over with one of the biggest events being the Hogueras in Alicante.
