San Pedro Alcántara Feria 2026

Dates and places

The Feria y Fiestas de San Pedro Alcántara 2026 runs from 13 to 19 October in honour of the patron saint, San Pedro de Alcántara. Almost everything happens at the La Caridad fairground: the big concerts at the auditorium, local acts at the Palenque Municipal, and the casetas and rides along the fairground street. The religious events and the opening parade start from Plaza de la Iglesia. This year's opening speech (pregón) is given by Rafael Reyes Hinojosa, head of the Rock Factory music school.

Free concerts

OBK and Modestia Aparte play on Friday 16 at 23:00, Pasión Vega on Saturday 17 at 21:00 and Camela on Sunday 18 at 23:00. All are free until the venue is full. The Palenque has an 80s night on Thursday, a tribute to Triana and Medina Azahara on Friday, a youth afternoon with local DJs on Saturday and flamenco on Sunday.

Opening and patron saint's day

On Tuesday 13 there are dance schools at 17:00, the giants and big-heads parade at 18:00 and, at 21:00, the switching-on of the lights and the "Carácter Mediterráneo" fireworks, followed by the pregón and the crowning of the feria queens. On Monday 19 there is mass at 11:00 and the procession at 12:00, and the feria closes with a children's party at the Palenque.

Families, rides and horses

Children's Day is Wednesday 14 from 19:00, with most rides at €2.50. On Thursday there is a children's afternoon at the auditorium. On the 14th and 16th the rides area runs without noise from 19:00. Horses may use their area from 13:00 to 20:00.

Getting there

The Fiestas department runs free shuttle buses: two routes around San Pedro Alcántara and one from Marbella. The Town Hall recommends using public transport.
