Dates of the Feria 2024
The Torre del Mar Fair 2024, known as the Feria de Santiago y Santa Ana, will take place from 24 to 28 July.
NB: the día del niño is on 23 July, with reduced prices on all fair activities.
The Fair’s programme
During the Feria de Torre del Mar, there is a special feature. There is a procession of the Virgen del Carmen, Patron Saint of fishermen. It is special because this procession is by land through Torre de Mar, but it is also by sea.
Not to be missed on 26 July every year:
The procession will start on 26 July at 6.30 pm and will continue at sea on a fishing boat at around 11 pm. It is always a magical moment when we all gather on the beach to see the Virgen del Carmen and the dozens and dozens of fishing boats that accompany her.
The procession has been declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in Andalucia.
NB: At the end of December 2022, the Vatican recognised the Virgen del Carmen, Patron Saint of fishermen, as the Patron Saint of Torre del Mar!
The evening concerts – at 11.45pm – at the 2024 Fair.
NB: All concerts are free except the one on 25 July, by Paco Candela. Tickets are on sale at the Torre del Mar and Velez-Malaga tourist offices for €5.
