Rincón de la Victoria presents the most special Christmas

Rincón de la Victoria presents the most "complete, supportive, and family-oriented" Christmas with nearly 60 activities taking place from December 5 to January 5. The mayor of Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado, announced the official Christmas 2025-2026 program, accompanied by the Councilor for Culture, Fair, and Festivals, Paz Couto, various council members, and a broad representation of associations, groups, and artists, including Lola Alcántara and Tamara Jerez.

This year's program includes zambombás (traditional Christmas gatherings), nativity scenes, theater, live music, choirs, puppet shows, workshops, craft markets, storytelling, sports activities, animation shows, and all the traditional events, such as the Christmas Treasure, the San Silvestre race, Santa's Sleigh, Santa's House, and of course, the visit of Their Majesties the Three Wise Men.

This Christmas in Rincón de la Victoria will also feature artists and groups such as Tamara Jerez, the zambombá Se armó la Marimonera, Peneque, la Seño de los Cuentos, or the Municipal School of Theater, among other notable performances that will brighten the holiday season.

The mayor personally thanked the attendance of more than 30 people, including groups and artists, who attended the event, highlighting "the involvement of the social fabric of our city." He also emphasized "the excitement and effort" with which a program designed for all ages has been organized.

New Route for the Three Wise Men's Parade

This edition is based on three main principles. The first is to have a greater presence in all the municipal cores; the second is that these activities have a social character, and lastly, an expanded offer of family and children's activities. "In fact, the number of children's activities has increased from 8 to 19, a qualitative and quantitative increase for the little ones," Salado highlighted.

Another major novelty announced by the mayor is the Three Wise Men's Parade, which will start its route, for the first time, from La Cala del Moral, maintaining the "usual" itinerary, but in the opposite direction to previous years. From today, registration is open for the draw for places on the parade floats, which will be held on December 12 in the plenary hall. Registrations can be made by calling 951 501 098 and 673 456 925, or in person at the Culture Area.

Another new feature this edition are the family workshops in the municipal libraries of Rincón, Benagalbón, La Cala, and La Torre, which will take place from December 9 to 12. Additionally, for the first time, Santa's House can be visited in the days leading up to his arrival: from December 13 to 18. For the official visit to Santa Claus, from December 20 to 23, registration is required from today by calling 951 501 098 or 673 456 925, or in person at the Culture Area during working hours. All registered families will enter a draw for the visit, which will take place on December 2 in the plenary hall of the City Hall.

A Flamenco Zambombá

Christmas will again include established actions to support the business sector, such as the Cliente Oro campaign, from December 1 to January 6, with a prize of up to 6,000 euros, or the Christmas music throughout the commercial areas during the campaign; and the shop window contest, with prizes of 500, 200, and 100 euros.

In the social realm, the program incorporates a flamenco zambombá for the benefit of the Social Food Bank, which will take place on December 13 in the Las Musas Hall; the children's attraction Scalextric in Plaza de la Constitución, from December 5 to January 5, with the distribution of 18,000 tickets in local shops and another 2,000 free tickets for vulnerable families through Social Welfare; and the "No Rinconero Without a Toy" Gala, which will take place in January. Additionally, throughout the Christmas period, the City Hall courtyard will host a new work by the artist Aurelio Robles.

Finally, the mayor highlighted that the organization of this extensive program has been possible thanks to the coordinated work of the departments of Culture, Fairs and Festivals, Youth, Seniors, Commerce, Social Welfare, Sports, and operational services such as General Services, Environmental Sustainability, Local Police, and Civil Protection, in addition to the collaboration of associations, groups, and local and regional artists, including the residents of La Cala del Moral, Torresol, the Stewards of Benagalbón, the Victoria Evangelical Christian Church, the cultural association La Mirada, and numerous local and regional artists.
