Málaga Province has a calendar packed with festive events all year round: Carnival, ferias, tapas tours, processions, street parties… Every village has its own celebrations, associated with local history, traditions or food. And they are all worth discovering.

The local ferias usually start mid-week and finish on Sunday night. In the larger towns they start at midnight on the Saturday or Sunday night and run for a week. The official opening of the feria is usually marked with fireworks. Monday after the feria is often a local holiday designed for recovering from the festivities.

Dates can vary slightly each year so best to check the local Town Hall website which is usually www.<town-name>.es

The traditional dates often appear in the ‘Turismo’ section and the exact dates may appear in the ‘Agenda’ or ‘Noticias’ (News) section. Look out for the feria poster on the website.

Here are traditional dates of a selection of fairs which are accessible from Villa Hackett:
