Saint Anne in Roquetas de Mar: date, offering and flowers
Roquetas de Mar · Local
El Puerto in Roquetas de Mar celebrates Saint Anne on 26 July. If you want to contribute flowers, first check the offering programme. In 2026 it was scheduled for the 25th at Santa Ana y San Joaquín parish. We suggest carnations as a starting point if they suit the format accepted by the organisers.

The main feast day is 26 July
Saint Anne is celebrated on 26 July in El Puerto de Roquetas de Mar. That is the date recorded under the Andalusia filter. The local label does not extend these events to the rest of the region.
The 2026 programme ran from 23 to 26 July. The calendar keeps only the main feast day rather than turning the whole fair into a multi-day event. It does not add Mass or procession times either.
The offering and procession involve different handovers
The 2026 municipal programme places the offering on 25 July at Santa Ana y San Joaquín parish. The land-and-sea procession and embarkation are listed on the 26th. These are details of that edition rather than a guarantee of the same arrangements next year.
Before buying, ask the Mayordomía about the offering date, reception point and preferred format. You could say: “Our family would like to bring a bouquet for Saint Anne. When will you receive it and what size would work? Should we bring it to the parish or another point?” Use the answer to agree on the order and who will deliver it.
If you are participating with a group, check whether you will prepare one arrangement or several contributions. Carnations and lisianthus are our suggestions based on appearance.
Prepare a bouquet for the agreed destination
Tell the florist whether you will hand flowers over on foot or want to contribute to an image’s floral decoration. A bouquet received at the parish and a piece intended for use during the procession are different orders. If a boat is involved, first agree with the organisers who will receive the flowers and where. Do not assume the quayside is a reception point.
For a personal handover, you could ask: “We have confirmed this place and time. We will walk from the car and would like a piece that two people can carry together.” Add the agreed dimensions and budget. The transport guide helps plan the journey and the delivery guide helps record the recipient and service.
Which flowers to choose
Compare flowers to choose the format, colours and care that suit the occasion.
Carnation
Main flower in our selectionA suggestion for its ruffled petals in a bouquet whose size and colour you agree with the recipient. The programme does not require this species.
Lisianthus
A soft-petalled alternative if it suits the accepted format. Ask to be consulted before flowers in a group contribution are substituted.

Frequently asked questions
Is Saint Anne’s offering always on 25 July?
The 2026 programme scheduled it for the 25th. That reference does not establish its date every year. The importable occasion keeps the feast on the 26th; check the handover for each edition.
Do I need flowers if I only want to watch the procession?
We do not treat attendance as an obligation to contribute flowers. If you would like to help, first ask how and prepare only what you have agreed.
What does this occasion’s subscription include?
Only 26 July as an all-day Saint Anne’s event. It does not book delivery or add the fair programme, the previous day’s offering or an embarkation time.
Can I order delivery directly to a boat?
Do not order on the assumption that someone will receive it there. First agree a responsible person, location and handover time with the organisers. Then confirm which service the florist can provide.
