News from the Malaga Fair: Malaga DJs, increased cleanliness, and an entrance inspired by the visit of Queen Elizabeth II

This year, the Málaga Fair will feature 200 musical and artistic performances. The Youth Esplanade at the Real Cortijo de Torres will once again host free video DJ sessions every night of the Fair. Among other new features, performances by young Málaga DJs will take place on the night of Saturday 23, selected through the initiative The Fair Your Way, which aims to promote the talent of musical artists from the city. The schedule includes performances from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM, accompanied by large-scale LED screens.

At the Municipal Auditorium, there will also be flamenco performances, featuring singers, ensembles, and groups for free. Los Verdiales will also have their own space in the booth dedicated to this art, with two daily performances of different styles. Additionally, the children's municipal booth at the Real will host theatrical and musical shows aimed at younger audiences.

This year, the Real will also feature more than 2.5 million points of light using sustainable technology. The entrance, which this year will represent the Quisco Embarcadero of Queen Isabel II, thus taking over from the Customs Palace, will be surrounded by 145,000 LED type lights and will include a clear space of over 100 square meters, offering a panoramic view of the venue from different angles. This will be complemented by 222 arches, 59 lamppost motifs, 242 grouped motifs, 10 ground figures, 13,057 meters of garlands, 57,200 lanterns, and three portals with over 47,000 LED lights.

"From the Málaga Federation of Peñas, we want to invite the people of Málaga to come to the Cortijo de Torres and visit our booths. Family booths where they will have great prices, they will be cool because almost all have air conditioning and a tremendous atmosphere," stated Manuel Curtido, president of the Málaga Federation of Peñas.

On the night of the fireworks at La Malagueta beach, an informational tent on prevention will be set up, staffed by specialized technicians with the aim of promoting healthy leisure during the Fair. Free condoms, breathalyzer tests, drink covers will be distributed, and preventive information will be provided on the negative effects of consuming energy drinks and 'vapers', as reported by the Youth delegate, Mercedes Martín, who has invited young people from Málaga to "enjoy the Fair consciously and have a good time".

Regarding cleaning efforts, the municipal cleaning company Limasam will have 500 job positions, of which 320 are additional, as well as a 24-hour active service during the Málaga Fair, including the work before and after the celebration. At the Cortijo de Torres, the company will have a logistical point next to the other municipal service booths to save on travel and work more efficiently, while in the center, an extraordinary service with 111 operatives will be carried out on Tuesday, August 19.
