One of the most significant novelties of the Feria this year is its duration, which is extended compared to previous years and it will take place from August 15 to August 24. Without a doubt, the busiest days in Malaga occur in August during the celebrations of its most important festival, the Feria de Málaga.
Its origin dates back to the capture of the city by the Catholic Monarchs in 1487, although it is years after when the celebration takes on the importance and character that we know today.
Every year, the city council prepares a different program that includes concerts and other activities to make Feria de Malaga more fun and attractive. Next, we will review the program of the Feria de Malaga 2019.

Feria de Malaga has 2 different locations and, in both of them, you can breathe the most typical atmosphere of the Malaga culture.
This is the original location of the Malaga fair at the beginning and it is common to enjoy it during the day.
From about 11 in the morning, the streets are full of people and the whole centre of Malaga becomes an outdoor party where you can dance, drink and sing until night.
The door of the downtown fair represents the “entrance” to the fair and, every few years, changes style.

This location has fewer years of history but this is where the purest spirit of the fair is breathed. The traditional “casetas” and horse cars, as well as an outdoor amusement park for the little ones with endless attractions and fun activities.
Traditionally this fair is more popular at night but, in recent years, it is also very busy during the day.
