Melon Diesel music, Rasel, and flamenco flair coming to Casares Costa Feria 2026

Casares is setting itself up for its annual feria, a joyous three days of music, community spirit, and Andalucian traditions. The festival will run from Friday, July 17 to Sunday, July 19, with a packed line-up that local organisers have put together to bring you a mixed programme with everything you could want, from classic family attractions and parades to a few well-known musical acts to top off the evenings.

Friday’s parades, pageantry, and classic rock

The weekend celebrations begin on Friday, July 17, at 7:30pm with the traditional grand parade. The crowds can stand back and be entertainment by a cheerful collection of floats, street performers, and live music winding its way through the Marina de Casares.

Then over at the main fairground stage at 10:30pm the annual coronation of the local Fair Queens and their maids of honour takes place. Wrapping up the opening night, Gibraltar pop-rockers Melon Diesel will hit the stage for a live concert.

Saturday delivers a lively pop and urban double-header

On Saturday, July 18, the evening entertainment takes a contemporary twist with a double-bill of pop and urban music. Performances by popular hitmaker Rasel and rock-pop covers band Sotano Sur will get underway from 10:30pm. To keep the dancing and fiesta mood going into the early hours, DJ Gody will take over the decks with a late-night party set.

Sunday, A traditional flamenco-pop finale

The 2026 fair comes to a close on Sunday, July 19, with a headline performance by flamenco-pop favourite Antonio Carmona. The former Ketama frontman will be up to wow the crowds at 10:30pm to close out the live music program, followed by a final wrap-up set from DJ Gody.

As always, there is something for everyone with fairground rides, food stalls, and children’s activities running across the entire weekend, offering plenty of entertainment for all generations.

All the main weekend events will take place at the fairground located just behind the Casares Costa petrol station. For more information on the Casares feria, visit the local town hall website.
