The municipality of Huercal Overa officially opens its 2025 Fair today, October 15, marking the beginning of one of the most anticipated events in the province of Almeria. The fair, which runs until Tuesday, October 21, transforms the town into a vibrant hub of music, food, and tradition — a celebration that unites residents and visitors alike.

This year’s festivities will be inaugurated with an opening speech by Blanca López Gómez, the elder sister of the Paso Negro brotherhood, who will deliver the proclamation at 8:00 PM at the Villa de Huercal Overa Theater. Following the speech, the mayor and local authorities will lead the traditional lighting ceremony to officially open the Fairgrounds.

Saturday night will feature one of the fair’s most anticipated moments: a spectacular fireworks display by Pirotecnia Valenciana, followed by a late-night concert by the pop group Lérica. On Sunday, the rock legends Medina Azahara will take the stage for a highlight performance that will close the weekend in style.
