The International Country Fair, popularly known as the People’s Fair, is one of the most outstanding and expected events in Fuengirola. It is held annually in early May and lasts approximately five days. This event began in 1994 with the participation of eight countries and has grown significantly over the years, now with more than 30 participating nations.
During the fair, the fairgrounds of Fuengirola is transformed into a multicultural space where you can enjoy the traditions, gastronomy and folklore performances of diverse cultures from around the world. Each participating country has its own booth, where they offer typical food, music, dance and artisanal products. The fair is known for its festive atmosphere and the opportunity for visitors to experience a trip around the world without leaving the city.
In addition to the International Country Fair, Fuengirola holds other important fairs, such as the Feria del Carmen de Los Boliches in July and the Feria de la Virgen del Rosario in October. Each of these fairs has its own approach and traditions, but all share a community celebration and entertainment atmosphere for all ages.
