THE Feria Fiestas of Santiago y Santa Ana 2024 took place from July 24 to July 28 at the Velez-Malaga Far Grounds, delighting attendees with a variety of activities.
The event began with the inauguration of the Paseo de la Feria and the lighting ceremony on July 24 at 10:00 pm. Over the five days, the fair offered something for everyone, equestrian events, a performance by the traditional Spanish singer Óscar Calderón, a concert by El Cañejo, and much more. Thursday, July 25, featured reduced prices on attractions for Children s Day.
Unexpected Summer Storm Causes Damage
However, the festivities were briefly interrupted by a weather incident on July 29. A sudden warm burst of air, accompanied by strong winds from a summer storm, caused some destruction in the Torre del Mar fairground. Fortunately, there were no injuries, as the incident occurred at around 5:00 am when the area was empty. The storm also caused a wall to collapse at IES Joaquín Lobato school.

The fairground was filled with laughter and music, creating a lively celebration that made the Feria y Fiestas de Santiago y Santa Ana 2024 an unforgettable success.
