Citorah says

The Feria de Málaga ran from Friday 14 to Saturday 22 August in 2026. It opened on the Friday evening with the historical parade from Plaza de la Merced at 20:00, recreating the handing of the city’s keys to the Catholic Monarchs in 1487, then a drone show and a pyromusical show by the port around midnight.

From Málaga Nightlife: The Old-Town Bars, the Rooftops, the Clubs and the Feria, under “7. The Feria de Málaga”.

The catch

The council hadn’t published the 2027 dates by 21 October 2026.

Good to know

When
The Feria del Centro runs from 12:00 to 18:00 in the old town’s streets and squares.
Price
Entry to every caseta is free: no one may charge you, or ask for an invitation or a drink, to get in.
Getting there
The council recommends public transport. In 2026 the EMT’s Línea F linked the centre and the Real 24 hours a day, from the north side of the Alameda between Calle Larios and Puerta del Mar, for €2, and 16 special lines ran from the neighbourhoods from 20:00 to 6:00.

As the guide had it on 21 Oct 2026. Check prices and hours with the place itself before you go.
