The Marbella neighbourhood will celebrate four days of fair starting this Thursday with music, children's activities, and the star concert by Los Calvin. Guitarist Juan Delola will be the announcer.
The Nueva Andalucía Fair 2026 kicks off this Thursday, July 23, and will run until Sunday, July 26, at the La Caridad fairgrounds. Residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a programme that combines tradition, live music, dance shows, and activities for all ages.
One of the most anticipated moments will be the opening speech, which will be delivered by Marbella guitarist Juan Antonio Vázquez Núñez, artistically known as Juan Delola. The lighting ceremony will signal the start at 21:00, followed by the opening of the Municipal Booth.
The first night will include the coronation of the Queens and Junior Ladies, as well as the Junior King, Miss Congeniality, and the Mamis and Papis categories. The Queen and Mister of the Active Participation Centre for Older People will also be named. The Arenal Duo will provide the musical entertainment with their live performance.
Friday, July 24, will be dedicated to inclusion. From 18:00 to 20:00, a Noise-Free Day will be held in the attractions area, with two hours without music to facilitate enjoyment for people with high sensitivity to noise. In the afternoon, members of the Active Participation Centre will enjoy a fair snack. The day will continue with dance performances by The ArtistDance and shows by the Arenal and Maverick duos.
Saturday, July 25, will be one of the most complete days. In the morning, the Great Water and Foam Party will bring families together at the venue. Later that night, awards will be presented for the sports tournaments of paddle, pickleball, and football. Additionally, the dance group from CPA Nueva Andalucía and the Virgen Madre Rociero Choir will perform. The highlight will be the star concert by the group Los Calvin, one of the most awaited events of the programme.
On Sunday, July 26, the fair will conclude with a distinctly rociero atmosphere. The day will begin with the Rociero Mass at the Virgen Madre Parish, followed by the election of Miss Rociera and Mister Rociero. Attendees will be able to enjoy a free paella before the official closing.
The Nueva Andalucía Fair has established itself as an unmissable summer event in Marbella, combining tradition, community, and fun in a family-friendly environment. The La Caridad fairgrounds will host a wide range of leisure activities designed for all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest.
Residents of Nueva Andalucía and other areas of the municipality will be able to enjoy a programme that focuses on live music, dance performances, and Andalusian traditions. The organisation has planned affordable prices for the attractions during Children's Day, which will be celebrated on Sunday.
With the opening speech by Juan Delola and the concert by Los Calvin as major attractions, the fair promises to be a success in participation. The Marbella City Council and the neighbourhood association have worked together to offer a varied and accessible programme.
For more information, interested parties can consult the complete programme on the City Council's website or on the official social media profiles of the fair. The La Caridad fairgrounds will be open from 21:00 on Thursday until midnight on Sunday.
