The upcoming May Fair is confirmed to be held at Antonio Soria Park between May fourteenth and eighteenth, twenty twenty-five. This announcement was made by the Tourism and Festivities department, which has also initiated the bidding process for the event’s organisation for both twenty twenty-five and twenty twenty-six. The decision comes as municipal renovation works at the port area, particularly concerning the fairground, have been delayed.

In recent years, the fair has been relocated to the Station Park due to ongoing works at the port since late twenty twenty-two. However, complaints arose regarding the Station Park’s inadequate space compared to the Antonio Soria Park. The organising team highlighted the need for a larger area, as the current site cannot accommodate the fair’s popularity, despite the port area hosting other significant events.

The approved contract for the May Fair includes a budget of three hundred sixty-nine thousand euros, covering both years. This will facilitate the complete setup of the event, including necessary infrastructure like sound and lighting systems. Additionally, planned attractions will share the space, but details regarding potential impacts on the weekly markets during the fair remain unclear.

Mayor Rosario Martínez Chazarra noted that the chosen dates for twenty twenty-six are expected to be from May thirteenth to seventeenth, but this will depend on the evolution of the port works. The festival, renowned for its historical significance and popularity, continues to attract thousands of visitors each year.
