The residents of Las Lagunas de Mijas are already enjoying their fair, which features a comprehensive program of activities for all audiences and will continue until this Sunday, June 29. The Mayor of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), was responsible for the lighting of the artistic illumination, consisting of 300,000 LED light points, last Wednesday night.
The mayor explained that the fair has been specially planned for enjoyment with family and friends. "It is a fair for and by everyone, a meeting point for families and friends. I hope everyone attends and has a good time," the mayor explained during the opening.
Regarding the attractions, in addition to the Children's Day, which was celebrated yesterday, consideration has been given to people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Every day from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, there will be no music and the noise in the attractions area will be reduced to make the celebration more inclusive.
Last night also marked the start of the concert program with performances by Marisol Bizcocho and Álvaro García. They will be followed tonight by José Manuel Soto and Siempre Así (June 26), DeCai and Sergio Contreras (June 27), Juanfra Carrasco, María Terremoto, and Anabel Valencia (June 28), and Fran Ocaña and Los Yakis (June 29).
All these musical performances will take place in the municipal tent and entry will be free until full capacity is reached.
To complete the set of musical performances, live shows by orchestras and cover bands such as Decibelios, Alba Dreid, Ronald, and Los Yeyes, among others, have also been planned. There are also performances by dance groups from the Popular University and academies.
One of the most anticipated events of the Las Lagunas Fair is the tribute dinner for the elderly, which will be held today at the CEIP María Zambrano facilities. They will be welcomed with a cocktail reception and greeted by the festival board and the municipal corporation.
This tribute will begin at 9:00 PM and during the course of the dinner, the Grandfather and Grandmother of the 2024 fair will be presented with gifts. All the elderly who have previously collected the necessary invitation from the Municipal Department for the Elderly can attend this dinner.
Furthermore, on the 27th and 28th, the venue will host the so-called Purple Point under the slogan 'Respect without excuses'.
