Callejea: the free festival in Alhaurín de la Torre features Melón Diesel and La Cabra Mecánica this Saturday

Alhaurín de la Torre will once again position itself this January at the center of the festive and cultural calendar of the province with a new edition of Callejea, the major event of citizen participation linked to the celebrations in honor of San Sebastián. The event will take place on Saturday, January 24 and is presented, once again, as an open, free day designed for all audiences, featuring live music, family activities, and the prominence of the local associative fabric filling the streets of the municipality from eleven in the morning until late at night.

Already established as the first music festival of the year in the province of Málaga, Callejea enhances its cultural and musical dimension in this edition, combining the presence of local artists with established names from the national scene. The event changes location after the success of previous years and moves to Reales Alcázares Street, very close to the Old Quarter, while the main stage will be located for the first time at the Fairgrounds, thus expanding the space available for the public and improving the logistics of the event.

Free concerts of high quality

The musical program will be distributed across two major stages. At Concejal José González Velasco Square, the focus will be on local talent and nearby proposals. This space will feature Mr. Proper, with his revision of the great classics of the nineties; Fitopaldis, a tribute to Fito & Fitipaldis; Chanwei, with a musical journey through Andalusian roots; Lady Shakes, with their mix of funk, soul, and rock; and Jil Jilala, who will put the final touch to this stage.

The Fairgrounds will host the main lineup with artists of extensive trajectory and new proposals in full rise. La Cabra Mecánica and Melón Diesel will headline a day designed for multiple generations, accompanied by Morochos and the locals Bauer. The night's closure will be by We Are Not DJs, who will end an intense musical day.

Workshops for all audiences

Beyond the concerts, Callejea will again stand out for its cross-sectional and family-friendly nature. The Alhaurín de la Torre Town Hall has designed a comprehensive program of children's and youth workshops, storytelling, a playroom for children aged 3 to 12, parades, exhibitions, and a circus show titled Meeting Point, which will take place at the Fairgrounds. Throughout the day, local associations will showcase their work in the 'stands' set up on Reales Alcázares Street, reinforcing the participatory spirit that defines this event from its beginnings.

The program will start at 11:00 AM with a motorcycle route from La Chorisia roundabout and will continue throughout the morning with creative workshops, environmental activities, storytelling, breaking exhibitions, and educational proposals such as DJ and beatbox workshops. From noon and during the afternoon, music will take over until culminating with the evening concerts on both stages.
