Mojacar Christmas Lights 2025: Record Crowds Celebrate a Magical Switch-On

Mojacar has officially kicked off its Christmas 2025 celebrations – and this year’s switch-on will be remembered as one of the most spectacular the town has ever seen. According to local media reports in Diario de Almeria and La Voz de Almeria, the day attracted thousands of visitors, with more than 7,000 people gathering in Mojacar Pueblo for the official lighting ceremony.

The celebrations began early in the day with Disney Day, an immersive experience that transformed the narrow streets of the old town into a magical world of characters, workshops, and activities. Local coverage estimated that more than 5,000 visitors enjoyed the morning festivities alone, filling the white-washed lanes with families and Disney fans from across the province.

In the afternoon, the Disney Concert performed by the Mojacar Municipal Band brought even more people into the heart of the town. But the real highlight came just after sunset, when the Christmas lights illuminated plazas, balconies, and alleyways – earning cheers and applause from thousands of spectators.

Mayor Francisco Garcia called the day “magical” and expressed enormous pride in the town’s ability to keep raising the bar each year. Mojacar has long embraced its reputation as a Ferrero Rocher Village, and this historic turnout shows that its festive charm continues to shine brighter every season.

The switch-on marks the start of a full festive programme running through early January. Highlights include:

• 20 December – Christmas Market opening in Mojacar Pueblo
• 21 December – Flamenco Christmas Zambomba
• 27 December – Zambomba “Chanqueños pa’ Belén”
• 31 December – Children’s New Year’s Eve
• 5 January – Three Kings Parade

With concerts, workshops, characters and surprises throughout December, locals and visitors alike can look forward to a Christmas full of light, tradition and unforgettable moments in Mojacar.
