What’s in store for me at the Marbella Fair?
The San Bernabé Fair is held annually in the week of the 11th June, Marbella’s patron saint’s day, offering a full week of activities for all audiences.
The Feria de Marbella is, like all summer fairs in Malaga, above all with a lot of fun. There is an extensive programme for all ages every day.
The most important day is the 11th of June, which commemorates the Conquest of the Catholic Monarchs in 1485.
On this day Mass is celebrated in the Parish Church Encarnación followed by a procession in honour of San Bernabé through the central streets of the town.
Day Fair & Night Fair
The Marbella fair is divided into two distinct parts:
Day Fair
During the day the epicentre of the fiesta is the central streets and squares of Marbella. There are numerous bars open, lots of colour and Sevillanas dancing in the streets.
If you’re more of a day person than a night person, just take a stroll through the centre and go with the flow. Many bars have a bar service on the street, with music and lots of atmosphere.
The street bars are open daily from 1 pm to 9 pm.
Here you get a glimpse of what’s is store for you at the day fair downtown Marbella.
