The Manga, Video Games, and Alternative Culture Fair returns to Alhaurín de la Torre on the upcoming 17th and 18th of January to celebrate its eleventh edition, an event that will take place at the Promotion Building in the El Peñón neighborhood.

Unlike other similar events, a paradise for fans of the geek world, this event offers free admission until full capacity is reached. The opening hours will be from eleven in the morning to eight in the evening on the upcoming Saturday and Sunday.

Confirmations

Among the guest stars is Ana Cremades, the voice of Goku as a child and also of his son Son Gohan, in the legendary series Dragon Ball. Another confirmed presence is Escardi, a well-known 'tiktoker' with millions of followers; and Noah de Diego, a comedian very popular on social media.

To ensure nothing is missing, there are also two magicians on the program; moreover, the Onyxia association will organize a festival within the fair itself with activities for everyone, including workshops for boys and girls. The traditional K-Pop contest, which so far has more than forty groups registered, will also take place, along with FIFA leagues and games with Fortnite, demonstrations, and tents with products for collectors, musical performances, and visits from experts in these fields.

As major new features, it should be noted that, firstly, a rap battle contest has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon. There will also be another contest to choose the best manga drawing, which is organized in collaboration with the Pincel y Barro Association, whose winner will be the poster for the 2027 Manga Fair.

Additionally, among the participants at the fair will be the National Beyblade X Association, in a double session: on Saturday, to teach attendees the different techniques and mechanics of this original battle spinning top game, and on Sunday, throughout a professional tournament with refereeing.

In the venue, which will occupy the two pavilions of the building, there will be exhibitors of Spanish and Japanese food.

Iraya Villalba has highlighted "the commitment to quality and the development of this fair" with a venue, she said, "extra large, spacious, well-connected, and that will feature many more activities than before." Villalba has thanked the work of the company Eventos Go and the staff of her department to make the eleventh Manga Fair a complete success.

Daniel Ferrer, for his part, has made it clear that the Alhaurín de la Torre event is "the most important free event of this genre in Spain."
