Feria de Malaga (The Malaga Fair) 2010 will be opened on the  La Malagueta beach of on Friday August 13 at 23:50, by singer Javier Ojeda.  Everyone will gather at the beaches to hear the Pregón de la Feria, the official speech that starts the festivities. The opening ceremony will be followed by  a fireworks display, the lighting of the Paseo del Parque and the beach concert of Miguel Boséof  at 24:00. For nine days the city of Málaga will be dedicated to the Feria de Málaga. Basically it is all about music and dance.

Throughout the duration of the fair there will be tons to do ALL day. No matter how old you are or what music you are interested in, there is something for everybody and there you won’t be getting much sleep. Everything starts at 9 every day and as one of the golden rules of the feria there is no time to end the party at night.

On the second day of the fair the city center is transformed with horses carrying people dressed in typical Andalucian costumes. The horses and horse-drawn carriages take Malagenians to the church (Santuario de Ntra. Sra. De La Victoria), where they attend a service and offer flowers to the patron saint of Málaga, the Virgen de la Victoria. This is a chance to see a beautiful display of horse-riding clothes and outfits, horse harnessing and the special andalusian costumes and dresses.

During the day the fair takes place in the Malaga’s Old Town “Feria de Día” and in the evening in the outskirts at The Palacia de Feria located south-west of the center “Real De La Feria” (the feria proper). Feria Real is a rather commercial theme park and mass entertainment. In contrast the fair in the city center is a wonderful an spontaneous gathering of thousands of people joining together to have fun.
