Festivals in Zamora

Local festivals in Zamora

The San Pedro Fairs and Festivities close June with music, folklore, festival clubs, traditional fairs and sports activities across Plaza Mayor, La Marina, Plaza de la Catedral, Viriato and other central venues. 29 June is Saint Peter's Day and one of the city's two local public holidays.

Usual celebration

San Pedro combines giant and big-headed-figure parades, brass bands, concerts, children's activities and festival clubs with the Garlic Fair, the Popular Pottery and Ceramics Fair and the Feria de Día. The city's historic squares, the Cathedral surroundings, Avenida de las Tres Cruces and sports facilities all become part of the celebration.

Other events

Holy Week is another defining event in Zamora, alongside the Virgen de la Concha pilgrimage to La Hiniesta. The September calendar brings further events around the Virgen de la Concha, gatherings of giants and big-headed figures, and activities linked to the city's Romanesque heritage and local crafts.
