The Estepona Fair kicks off with the proclamation by Canal Sur presenter Eva Ruiz

From July 1 to 6, Estepona celebrates its Fair and Festivities, with free performances for all audiences and a bullfight scheduled for July 6 featuring Morante, Talavante, and Manzanares.

Mayor José María García Urbano has stated that "this year's program has been carefully prepared, aiming to reconnect with our roots and deeply feel the Fair in our hearts."

Eva Ruiz, a presenter from Canal Sur with a special connection to Estepona, was in charge of delivering the opening speech last night followed by a performance by Nuria Fergó near the Olympic Stadium.

Regarding musical performances, all free of charge and taking place at the Fairgrounds, Sevillian rapper Haze will perform today, July 2; Antonio José, one of the most esteemed pop singers, on Friday, July 4; Medina Azahara, legends of Andalusian rock, on their farewell tour on Saturday, July 5.

Additionally, today, Wednesday, July 2, is Children's Day with the usual discounts on fair attractions, and tomorrow, Thursday, July 3, is dedicated to Seniors, featuring a performance by Tamara Jerez, a singer described as having a voice similar to Rocío Jurado, and the show "Al compas por Sevillanas," with Las Soles, María de la Colina, and Sal Marina.

The Fair will also make room for local groups such as La Marivilla, Baraka & Ana Soto, the Sugar orchestra, and local dance academies specializing in classical, flamenco, and modern dance.

In the days leading up to the Fair, the Estepona City Council organized free sevillanas workshops on the Paseo Marítimo, which were attended by dozens of couples.

Furthermore, the Bullring has undergone cleaning and improvements, including the replacement of carpentry dating back to 1972, not only for next Sunday's bullfight but also for all cultural and artistic events taking place this summer, such as the Malinche symphonic show, as reported by the City Council.

Every day of the fair will feature horseback riding, and a horse harnessing contest has been organized for Sunday.

Additionally, the Civil Protection has announced that noise protectors will be available at their booth for those who need them.
