Bocairent celebrates the summer festivities, dedicated to Saint Augustineties of the town. The celebrations centre around the "Danses" that have been performed in Bocairent for various centuries, preserving their rituals and essence. They begin every night at eleven, in the main square, the 'Placa de l'Ajuntament'. The characteristics and uniqueness of the 'Dances de Bocairent' make them the most deeply embedded in Valencia. The music of the "tabalet y dolçaina", the traditional garments and some of their most chracteristic rituals, such as the opening of 'las Dansá' each night with a "CAP DE DANSA " ( normally by a married woman, apart from the first night where the dance is opened by the "Clavariesa Major").

It is worth highlighting the "Cadena" (chain), which is formed in between "saltá i saltá" (jumps). It is most worthwhile visiting Bocairent in the five nights of the 'Danses' and being able to admire this preserved tradition.
The weekends with a magnificent "CABALGATA" (parade) in which CABOLOS participate and the queens of the festivities, the 'Clavariesas' with their respective courts of honour and the exhibitions, concerts, cultural, sporting activities and the religious celebrations dedicated to Saint Agustin: the Novena, Mass and Procession.
