Estepona Fair in July

Are you in or around Estepona at the beginning of July? Then don’t miss the Estepona Fair 2026 which will be held from 7 to 12 July.

The Estepona Fair is held in honour of its patron saint the Virgen del Carmen. It is, together with the Marbella Fair (in June), the Malaga Fair (in August), the Torremolinos Fair (in September) and the Fuengirola Fair (in October), the most multitudinous, folkloric, lively and colourful in the province.

We tell you everything you need to know!

What’s in store for me at the Estepona Fair?

Get ready to party. Day and night, if you want and as long as you can stand it.

This is at least the disposition of the locals who celebrate this week in honour of their patron saint with open arms. In fact, during the week of the fair, working life in Estepona practically comes to a standstill.

The whole town is engaged in music, colour, dance, parades of floats and folklore shows.

There are a number of live concerts and a wide variety of events for all ages.

One of the highlights is the horse-drawn carriage procession through the streets of the town.

Day fair and Night fair

During the day the epicentre of the fiesta is the central streets and squares of Estepona. There are numerous bars open, lots of colour and Sevillanas dancing in the streets. The typical drink everywhere is manzanilla wine (the colder the better!).

At night, the fun moves to the Fairgrounds, with numerous stalls, food stalls and attractions for all ages, as well as live concerts.

Free concerts at the Municipal Pavilion

Every day there are free concerts at the Municipal Pavilion, whic is the epicentre of the Night Fair.

This year there is a varied musical programme with Andalusian Rap, Pop Music, the popular spanish band Medina Azahara or local dance academies and schools of flamenco, classical and modern dance, just to name a few.

You´ll find the complete programme further down.
