The Pilar-Miraflores neighborhood in Marbella will celebrate its festivities from October 9 to 12.

The traditional local festivities of the Pilar-Miraflores neighborhood in Marbella will be held from October 9 to 12 and will feature new additions this year such as a Youth Night, "thanks to the collaboration of the municipal delegation of the area and as part of an initiative that seeks to integrate this sector of the population into this event." This was explained by the Councilor for Citizen Participation, Enrique Rodríguez, who noted during the presentation of the events that "it is a highly anticipated festivity in our municipality, with more than 40 years of history."

He also pointed out that "it will include a complete and varied program of events for all audiences, which will culminate with the Mass and procession in honor of the Virgin of Pilar on the 12th, around which this fair has always revolved." The councilor, who highlighted the work carried out by the Vázquez Clavel Neighborhood Association and its involvement in this and other meetings, mentioned that the activities to be carried out "are designed for the enjoyment of the little ones, with games and children's attractions, and for the adults, who will enjoy dancing."

Rodríguez mentioned that the festivities will start on the 9th with the lighting and the crowning of the queens and ladies, and the designation of the Popular King and Queen, in addition to the opening speech by Karina Parra, "a woman very connected to each of the city's festivities." The councilor has encouraged neighbors and visitors from all over the city "to join us in events like this one, which keep traditions alive."

Contest and Performances

For his part, the president of the neighborhood association added that another novelty of this edition is "the 'my association' contest, which emerged from a challenge posed by the mothers during rehearsals." "In this competition, mothers will have to parade and answer questions, promising to be a very fun and amusing event that will take place on Thursday the 9th."

He detailed that the agenda will continue on Friday the 10th with dance academies and the performance of a duo, and on Saturday the 11th "there will be a floral offering to the Virgin in the chapel, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, a popular paella at noon, activities by Mimosín for the little ones, performances by academies and the Youth Night with two DJs." Finally, on the 12th "attendees will be able to enjoy chocolate with churros in the morning, entertainment for the little ones, the revival of the foam party, and the festivity will culminate with the Mass and the Procession of the Virgin of Pilar in the afternoon," he concluded.
