History of the M\u00e1laga Fair<\/h2>\n

The M\u00e1laga Fair, also known as the August Fair, has its roots in a key historical event: the capture of the city by the Catholic Monarchs on 19 August 1487, when M\u00e1laga was incorporated into the Crown of Castile.<\/p>\n

The first celebration of the fair, following the establishment of M\u00e1laga City Council, took place on 15 August 1491 with a procession. However, the following year it was decided to change the date and set it for the memorable 19 August. Over the years, the fair has been held annually, and by the 17th century rocket displays and fireworks were already taking place \u2013 a tradition that still continues at the modern-day fair.<\/p>\n

One of the distinctive features of the M\u00e1laga Fair is that it takes place across two venues: the Day Fair, located in the centre of M\u00e1laga, and the Night Fair, which is held at the Cortijo de Torres, in the Teatinos area. However, it is important to note that this fairground already hosts activities throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Throughout its history, the M\u00e1laga Fair has evolved into a celebration brimming with joy, music, dancing and colour. It is a special time when the people of M\u00e1laga and visitors alike enjoy the many festival marquees, traditional food tastings, flamenco performances, live music and attractions for all ages.<\/p>\n

The M\u00e1laga Fair is a celebration of the city\u2019s rich tradition and culture, and offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the festive spirit and Andalusian hospitality. Every year, thousands of people come together to celebrate this iconic event, which pays tribute to M\u00e1laga\u2019s history and identity.<\/p>\n

When is the M\u00e1laga Fair 2023?<\/h2>\n

The 2023 M\u00e1laga Fair will take place from 12 to 19 August, spanning a total of 7 days. It is important to note that 19 August is always included within the week of the festival as a historic date commemorating the Reconquest of M\u00e1laga by the Catholic Monarchs and its incorporation into the Crown of Castile.<\/p>\n

19 August is a local bank holiday, and 15 August is a national bank holiday, which means that the 2023 M\u00e1laga Fair will include two bank holidays.<\/p>\n

Who will be the official announcer for the 2023 M\u00e1laga Fair?<\/h3>\n

As for the opening speech for the 2023 M\u00e1laga Fair, we are still waiting to find out who will be giving it. In previous years, prominent figures from the city such as Estrella Morente, Antonio Banderas and Pablo Albor\u00e1n have had the honour of delivering the opening speech, dedicating a few words to the city and the days of celebration in M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n

When and where to watch the fireworks at the 2023 M\u00e1laga Fair<\/h2>\n

The fireworks officially mark the start of the celebrations and will take place in the early hours of Saturday 12 August, at 00:00. They will last for approximately 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

On that night, there isn\u2019t a Feria as such, but many people take the opportunity to go out in the centre of M\u00e1laga, creating a pre-Feria atmosphere ahead of the event, which officially begins on Saturday the 12th.<\/p>\n

The fireworks are set off from the cruise terminal access area and can be seen from many parts of the city, and even from nearby towns such as Torremolinos and Rinc\u00f3n de la Victoria.<\/p>\n

If you want to watch them from the centre of M\u00e1laga, you\u2019ll need to find a vantage point, such as La Coracha or Gibralfaro Castle, or somewhere with good views of the bay, such as Muelle Uno \u2013 and what better place to watch the fireworks than the Cambara restaurant.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Where is the Malaga trade fair held?<\/h2>\n

The M\u00e1laga Fair is regarded as one of the most important fairs in Spain and is a key event for experiencing the city\u2019s culture. It is estimated that around 1 million people visit the fair during the week it takes place.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that the M\u00e1laga Fair has two main venues: the Day Fair, which is held in the centre of M\u00e1laga, and the Night Fair, which takes place exclusively at the Cortijo de Torres fairground. These two fairs can be combined on the same day, held on separate days, or you can choose to attend one or the other, depending on your personal preferences.<\/p>\n
