Alicante’s Mushroom Street festival, the very popular Botigues al Carrer (Shops on the Street) returns on Saturday, 11 October.

From 11:00 to 20:00, Calle San Francisco, affectionately known as Mushroom Street, will transform into a hub of shop stalls, live music, children’s entertainment, and street performances.

Tastings, discounts & prizes

More than 70 shops will take part, bringing their goods out into the street, while nearby restaurants will offer tastings, special discounts, and prize draws throughout the day.

Alicante councillor, Lidia López, described the event as “a celebration of our city’s energy and local talent. A chance for everyone to enjoy shopping, food, and entertainment on one of Alicante’s most iconic streets.”

The full-day programme promises fun for all ages. From the morning onwards, visitors can enjoy children’s workshops, live entertainment, and street parades.
