The city of Xàtiva experienced days of high participation across the Fair's various performance spaces, with thousands enjoying the musical, cultural, and family programming. The main incident occurred on the 15th, when a thermal shock event with heavy rainfall and strong winds caused damage to several facilities. For safety reasons, activities scheduled for the night of the 15th were suspended, including the concert by La Fúmiga, Naina, and Romàntic Dimoni, which has been postponed to tomorrow, Saturday the 22nd. The storm also forced the suspension of the closing show, Abba The New Experience, and the subsequent pyromusical show. The official closing ceremony was held at the Gran Teatre.
Provisional attendance figures for the city, estimated in the hundreds of thousands, reflect a positive public response. Camp de La Murta recorded approximately 19,000 people, while La Glorieta attracted around 3,000 attendees. Other venues such as El Palasiet (1,500), Plaça de la Seu (2,400), and the Al Ras space (4,000) also saw notable attendance. The children's theater program had an estimated participation of 2,400 children and families.
The Al Ras 2026 festival launched a new brand image with a renewed logo and visual identity. Over two afternoons, 500 glasses with the new logo and 2,500 wristbands were distributed. The program was expanded with more entertainment and DJ sets. In terms of prevention, an awareness campaign on drug and alcohol consumption was conducted, and the Punto Violeta (Purple Point) was operational to address potential situations of gender-based violence or harassment.
The mayor of Xàtiva, Roger Cerdà, gave a «very positive» assessment of the edition, highlighting the high attendance and commercial response, despite the weather. He emphasized the success of the performances at La Murta, particularly the concert by OBK and Cara B which drew over 5,000 people, and the positive reception of the gastronomic area in La Glorieta. Cerdà noted the institutional presence of minister Diana Morant, minister Óscar Puente, the president of the Provincial Council of Valencia, Vicent Mompó, the vice-president of the Generalitat Valenciana, José Díez, and national deputy Nahuel González, regretting the absence of the President of the Generalitat, Juan Francisco Pérez Llorca.
Security and mobility operated satisfactorily. The security deployment recorded 17 interventions for theft, threats, or disturbances, 120 identifications, and 12 checks for alcohol and drugs. 250 agents participated. In terms of mobility, the operation facilitated movement despite moments of high traffic intensity.
