  • Look out for Ya es Halloween en SésamoAventura during Halloween or the Easter Party in spring. La Navidad de Woody is a must-see during the Christmas season.
  • Start with shows in nearby areas, such as Aloha Tahití in Polynesia and Fiesta Mexicana in Mexico, to avoid long walks between performances.
  • Parades like the PortAventura Parade and the Christmas Parade are park-wide celebrations filled with music, colorful floats, and lively characters.
