ARCHIVED - 29th November to 8th December 2019, annual Fiestas Patronales in Mazarrón
The celebrations include lots of free music, fairground, cultural events, tapas route and open air painting competition
Mazarrón holds its annual fiestas patronales prior to and on the day of the Virgen de la Purísima Concepción (the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception) on 8th December. These also intertwine with the celebration of Constitution Day (6th December), the anniversary of the creation of the current Spanish Constitution, and both dates are national holidays (although 8th December falls on a Sunday this year).
Throughout the fiestas in Mazarrón there are a variety of activities, concerts and events taking place with virtually everything free of charge.
A large-scale fairground (the “recinto ferial”) is set up opposite the Estadio Municipal de Fútbol de Mazarrón (click for map) with a range of fairground attractions. At the same time the main municipal marquee (“the Carpa municipal”) is in the Plaza del Convento, outside the church dedicated to the Virgen de la Purísima Concepción, and during the long weekend of 6th to 8th December a gastronomic event called gAstrogAllo is taking place with tapas, cookery demonstrations, workshops and live music inside the Cresta del Gallo indoor food market.
Religious events
The main religious events take place in the Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción which is where the figure of the Virgen is kept throughout the year in the centre of Mazarrón (the church next to the plaza where the weekly market is held). This is the main departure point for the processions relating to the fiestas and for the numerous Holy Masses.
For further queries contact the local Mazarrón Tourist Office.
All of the events are free unless otherwise stated.
