This same Friday night the new cycle of spring concerts planned by the City Council will begin on the Deck of the Parque de Ferias, all of them free, with a performance by the legendary rock group from Valladolid Celtas Cortos at 10:30 p.m.

Sunday is the turn for Andalusian rock by the historic group Medina Azahara at the same place and time.

In this first weekend of festivities, Sunday will be Bicycle Day from 10 am, before the heat sets in.

And without missing the traditions at night the traditional ‘mayo’ will be set in the square and also the ‘children’s mayo’ with the corresponding snack of chorizos and lemonade served by the ‘EL Cazalla’ club.

And since it is a national holiday, the Athletics Festival is celebrated on May 1, which will reach its 21st edition, bringing together athletes of all ages around the Castilla-La Mancha boulevard. This first long weekend prior to the Fiestas will end on Monday afternoon, with a free children’s musical show on the Fairground Deck, by CantaJuegos, at 7:00 p.m.

And at the beginning of the week there are many religious acts in honor of the patron saint of the gallant.

Until Thursday the proclamation will not be proclaimed, by the trimmed bullfighting Iván Cachero, which will continue the important parade of floats to which we are already accustomed in Marchamalo with its corresponding contests.

The music will return to the Marchamalo deck that same Thursday night. The Marseille orchestra will be the first to perform in Marchamalo, followed on Friday by La Resistencia, and on Saturday by Tetrix, on what will be the two great nights of the Fiestas . For this there will also be two great shows after their performance, with the performance of Nuevo Origen and Mandala Show during the early hours of Friday and Saturday, respectively. The big weekend of the Fiestas will be closed by the Aragonese ballet Baluarte with its colorful show of jacks, which it repeats in Marchamalo after its performance in February at the Ateneo Arriaca.
