Hi everyone ! We’ve made it to the final weekend of Feria 🎡
After almost a full week of music, dancing, packed streets and some very late nights, Feria de Málaga will soon reach its final weekend. Friday and Saturday are the last two days , so if you still haven’t made it, this is your chance.
But this weekend there are also some genuinely good alternatives happening around the coast, particularly on Friday and Saturday, so I've gone through everything and picked what I think is actually worth your time.
And yes, the FERIA tab is still there, with the programme for every remaining day, my three picks, Centre vs Cortijo, transport and the simple “If you don't want to think” plans.
💃 Friday: one more proper Feria day
If you haven't experienced Feria del Centro yet, Friday would be my day to do it.
Don't over-plan it. Go into the Historic Centre around lunchtime and wander. There are verdiales on Calle Larios, flamenco at Peña Juan Breva at 15:00 and music around the centre and honestly, a lot of the fun is what happens between the things on the programme.
Stay with Feria and head to Cortijo de Torres, where Antonio Carmona plays the free Gran Gala at the Auditorio Municipal at 22:00.
Friday has some serious competition outside Feria : DJ Snake headlines the 12 Festival in San Pedro Alcántara, Niña Pastori is at Starlite Marbella and Galván Real plays in Fuengirola.
And if you fancy going in completely the opposite direction, Nerja’s Feria Gastronómica starts on Friday with a free Falete concert on the Balcón de Europa.
So Friday might actually be the hardest night to choose.
🌙 Saturday: last call for Feria
This is it.
Saturday 22 is the final day of Feria de Málaga.
You can still catch the last afternoon of Feria in the Historic Centre : verdiales, choirs, flamenco and all the street atmosphere , before everything shifts towards Cortijo de Torres for one final night.
The last Gran Gala at the Auditorio Municipal is Paloma San Basilio at 22:30, and it’s free.
If you haven't done the Night Feria yet, this is when I'd go.
But again, there are alternatives : INNA is at Marbella Arena, Pastora Soler plays Starlite and elrow takes over Málaga Forum from 17:00.
🌊 Sunday: and suddenly, everything is quiet
After eight days of Feria, Málaga gets a much quieter Sunday.
If I were going somewhere, I’d head to Nerja.The Feria Gastronómica continues on the Balcón de Europa, and OBK plays a free concert there on Sunday night.
Nerja + food + a summer evening on the Balcón de Europa + a free concert sounds like a pretty good post-Feria plan to me.
If you're with children, Cantajuego is also in Fuengirola at 20:30.
And honestly? After Feria week, a quieter Sunday might not be such a bad thing.
🎡 Still planning your last Feria visit?
The dedicated FERIA tab is staying in the calendar through the end of Feria.

And come see what it actually looks like
I've been out at Feria too, and I've been sharing videos from the streets, shows and events on Málaga Weekend's Instagram and Facebook.
And I'll keep doing that after Feria , whenever I'm somewhere worth showing you.
So the calendar tells you what's happening, and the socials show you a bit of what it's actually like when you get there.
