Local festivals in Molina de Segura
Molina de Segura's patronal festivities honour the Virgen de la Consolación and combine pilgrimages, cultural events, a fair, music and participation by associations and sports clubs. Their cycle occupies several weeks in September and does not correspond exactly to the local public holidays.
Usual celebration
The tradition begins on the first Saturday in September with the pilgrimage carrying the image from her chapel to Nuestra Señora de la Asunción church. The floral offering leaves Plaza del Ayuntamiento, with participants wearing regional dress, and the cycle ends on the third Monday in September with the return pilgrimage. Between these moments there are music, floats, exhibitions, folklore and events in Plaza de España, Parque de la Compañía, the fairground and other municipal venues.
Other events
Molina also maintains its Theatre Festival, B-Side and celebrations in neighbourhoods and outlying settlements, each with its own organisers, duration and programme.
