At 9:00 PM, the lighting will be turned on and the fairgrounds will open at the María del Carmen Álvarez Mora roundabout, featuring a performance by Juanlu Montoya. This will be followed by the proclamation by the artist Juanjo Alcántara, who, as highlighted, "has taken the name of San Pedro and flamenco wherever he has gone," and the day will conclude with the crowning of the queen, king, misses, ladies, and gentlemen, as well as the selection of the popular queen.

"The fair especially takes care of the little ones and those with special needs," added the mayor, who specified that Tuesday, the 15th, will be Children's Day with special prices of 2.50 euros for general attractions and 3.50 for unique rides. Furthermore, on Thursday, the 16th, there will be a children's afternoon at 6:30 PM in the auditorium, featuring the 'Los Misterios Mágicos' show by Mimosín, which will also include makeup workshops, drawing, temporary tattoos, and balloon twisting.

She indicated that "we continue to maintain days with a noise-free schedule, which will be Thursday the 16th and Saturday the 18th, so that people with sensory sensitivity can enjoy this space without difficulties" and explained that the Operational Coordination Center (Cecop) "will manage the distribution of wristbands to people with reduced mobility, so they have priority when getting on the mechanical attractions."

Seniors will also be featured on Wednesday, the 15th, Senior Day, with a community lunch in their booth for members of the Active Participation Center I and II of San Pedro and, for the rest of the week, they can enjoy performances of 'Se llama copla' and the choirs 'Aires del sur', 'La amistad' and those from the centers themselves.
