The Valencian Community celebrates its day on 9 October, the anniversary of James I entering Valencia in 1238, and keeps Saint Joseph's Day. In 2027 it has 12 public holidays: the 9 shared by all of Spain and 3 of its own, St Joseph's Day (Friday 19 March), Easter Monday (Monday 29 March) and Valencian Community Day (Saturday 9 October). Like Catalonia, it does not give Maundy Thursday but does give Easter Monday, a day of "mona" cakes and countryside outings in Valencian towns; in 2026 it also had Saint John's Day. Local holidays for the towns of Alicante, Castellón and Valencia are published in the Official Journal of the Generalitat Valenciana. Valencia city celebrates Saint Vincent Martyr on 22 January and Saint Vincent Ferrer on the Monday after Easter Monday; Alicante, the Bonfires of Saint John; Castellón, La Magdalena in Lent; Elche, the Coming of the Virgin in December.

The Valencian Community has 542 municipalities in three provinces, and the regional employment department publishes their local holidays in the DOGV in a single resolution, usually in November or December. Many Valencian festivities revolve around fire, with the Fallas in March, the Alicante Bonfires in June and Castellón's Magdalena in Lent, and several depend on Easter, such as Saint Vincent Ferrer in Valencia, so they change date every year.
