The Jardines de Abril de Sant Joan venue hosted fourteen evenings filled with concerts by renowned musicians, live art exhibitions, vibrant DJ sets, themed parties, and a diverse gastronomic offering.

The festival generated an economic impact of 2.5 million euros, with direct and indirect effects supporting more than 300 jobs tied to the event. Nineteen appointments highlighted the involvement of more than 270 artists, including musicians, artisans, DJs, and singers who contributed to the festival’s vibrant experience.
Magical Nights has established itself as a unique summer offering suitable for all ages and paired with Alicante’s favorable climate. The event attracts a broad audience, with about 55 percent coming from outside the Alicante province, including roughly 20 percent international attendees from France, England, Russia, and various Scandinavian countries. The remaining attendees originate from Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, the Basque Country, and the Region of Murcia, underscoring its wide regional appeal.
The organizers are already planning the next edition for 2024. In the coming days, updates will be announced and tickets will be available on the festival’s official site, NochesMagicas.es, as reported by the Magical Nights team.
