Javea Nighttime Craft Fair

Javea Nighttime Craft Fair sets up along the Paseo Marítimo del Puerto de Jávea and runs every evening from 7pm to midnight during June, July and August. It is a summer season market, so the promenade carries no stalls the rest of the year, which is the one thing to check before making the trip for it. Opening at 7pm makes it an evening rather than a morning market, and it sits alongside all markets in Javea and the town's other street markets.

What you'll find at Javea Nighttime Craft Fair

Handicrafts, and nothing else. This is a craft fair rather than a general street market, so there is no produce and no clothing rail: the Spanish name, Feria de Artesanía de Autor de Jávea, points at work sold by the person who made it. The number of stalls trading on a given night is not recorded, and it is an open-air market with no covered hall, so what you see depends on who has turned out that evening.

How to get to Javea Nighttime Craft Fair

The market runs along the Paseo Marítimo del Puerto de Jávea, the seafront promenade at the port, which puts it within walking distance of the port's bars and restaurants once the stalls open at 7pm. For the wider picture, the Alicante province page lists what else runs nearby.

Where to stay in Javea

Staying in the old town, Casco Antiguo, puts you within easy walking distance of the Nighttime Craft Fair and the best of Javea's evening atmosphere. The port area is another good option, with plenty of restaurants and bars to round off your night after browsing the stalls.

If you prefer a hotel with more comfort and amenities, Parador de Javea sits right by the sea and is one of the most reliable choices in town. Wherever you base yourself, Javea is compact enough that getting around is never a hassle.

What day is Javea Nighttime Craft Fair?

Javea Nighttime Craft Fair runs every day of the week, Monday to Sunday, from 7pm to midnight, but only during June, July and August. There is no single market day to plan around in summer, and no market at all on the promenade for the rest of the year.

What months does Javea Nighttime Craft Fair run?

Javea Nighttime Craft Fair runs in June, July and August only, opening nightly at 7pm and packing away at midnight on the Paseo Marítimo del Puerto de Jávea. A visit in spring or autumn will find the promenade empty of stalls, so it is a summer trip or nothing.

What is sold at Javea Nighttime Craft Fair?

Javea Nighttime Craft Fair sells handicrafts, and that is the whole of what its stalls carry, as the Spanish name Feria de Artesanía de Autor de Jávea suggests. It is not a general street market with produce and clothing, so come for handmade pieces rather than a weekly shop.
