September 18 to 27 The Feria Grande de Lorca 2025
A large funfair, free concerts, tapas, the FERAMUR artisan fair, Day fair in the historic city centre of Lorca, processions and plenty of activities for all the family
September is a month of festivities in Lorca and following the “Feria Chica”, which is based around the feast day of the Virgen de las Huertas on the 8th of the month, the main event, the “Feria de Lorca”, lasts this year from September 18 to 27.
During the fiestas there is a wide variety of entertainment to suit all ages and practically all tastes, including plenty of food, music (all of the concerts are free), a children’s play area, the Feramur arts and crafts fair (which is one of the biggest in the Region every year and which opens to the public this year on September 24) and of course the main evening funfair at the Recinto Ferial at the Parque Huerto de la Rueda, a large triangular piece of land by the riverside on the edge of the city, where many of the other events also take place.
In addition, this year once again a “Feria de Mediodía”, or daytime fair, opens every at 13.00 in the historic city centre, with plenty of attractions and live music for both adults and kiddies as well as tapas on sale everywhere you look!
Other highlights include the annual exhibition of horse-drawn carriages and traps, music festivals and the processions of the figure of Nuestra Señora La Real de las Huertas on September 20 and 27.
