Most popular Marbella festivals

The most popular festivals in Spain are the fairs or "feria". These are week long events that include entertainment, song, dance, food for both adults and children. There are also "verbebas" and "romerías" which are smaller in scale and have more religious signicance. Don´t know what a feria is? Read our page on ferias in Spain to get a better understanding and to find out which fairs are held when.

Keep in mind that some festivals repeat on the same day every year and others are week long events that change annually. As soon as any dates are announced we post them in our Calendar of Events
