Local festivals in Mazarrón
Mazarrón brings together the Purísima Concepción patronal festivities in the town, the San José festivities in Puerto de Mazarrón and a carnival shaped by local carnival clubs. Each celebration has its own dates and venues, and none should be confused with the days declared to be local public holidays for employment purposes.
Usual celebration
The Purísima festivities are usually held around 8 December and last approximately two weeks. The Town Council places many social, cultural and sporting events at the Recinto Ferial and highlights the float parade, which runs from Avenida Constitución to Calle La Vía beside La Aceña sports hall. In Puerto de Mazarrón, the San José festivities combine religious events, a fair, a market, music and community gatherings around San José parish church, the seafront and El Rihuete.
Other events
The municipal calendar also includes celebrations in the outlying settlements, coastal activities and events connected with the area's mining and maritime heritage, each governed by its own programme when one is published by the Town Council.
