Malaga Fair, also known as the
August Fair, celebrates and recalls the capture of the city by the
Catholic Monarchs on August 19th, 1487, incorporating it into the Crown of Castile.
The first celebration, after the
formation of the Malaga City Council, took place on August 15th, 1491
with a procession. The following year the date was moved to the
remembered August 19. The fair was held every year and in the 17th
century there were already carts and fireworks displays (something that
continues to take place at the current Fair).
On August 19th, a historical parade is celebrated remembering that day,
recalling with costumes and clothing of the time the taking of the city
by the Catholic Monarchs and which later culminates in a processional
parade through the city to the Cathedral.
