Local festivals in Bollullos Par del Condado
The September festivities combine devotion to Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes with the wine culture of El Condado. The religious service and procession, the Acto de Exaltación al Vino and the Andalusian fair connect the parish church of Santiago Apóstol, Plaza del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús and the fairground.
Usual celebration
The patron's main day is 12 September, with a service at Santiago Apóstol and a procession through the streets. The fair usually adds fantoches or giants and big-headed figures, a horse parade, marquees, flamenco dress and decorative lighting; the council, brotherhood, bands, wineries, farmers, stallholders and residents participate. The opening address and exaltation expressly link the festival to Bollullos wine.
Other events
The municipal calendar includes San Sebastián or Día de los Chorizos, Carnival, Holy Week, the May Crosses, the San Antonio and San Juan evening festivities and Día de las Gamonitas. The regional fruit competition maintains the fair's connection with agriculture in El Condado.
