Dessert contest of the Fiestas de San Joséverified
The dessert contest of the Fiestas de San José 2026 takes place on Wednesday 16 September at 18:00 in the San José district of San Juan de la Rambla. It is the food fixture of Wednesday afternoon and one of the events with the strongest local turnout, because the desserts are brought by the households of the district. The official programme gives the time, without detailing the rules of the contest.
On Wednesday 16 September at 18:00 the San José district holds the dessert contest of the Fiestas de San José 2026.
The dessert contest is one of the most homemade fixtures of the programme: the sweets are presented by the families of the district and the jury forms on the spot. It sits between the afternoon bouncy castles and the ballroom dancing of the Tercera Edad Baray. The official programme gives the time but publishes neither the rules, the exact spot in the district nor how to enter, so anyone wishing to compete should ask the Comisión de Fiestas.
