126 years have passed since the first Cáceres Fair was inaugurated in 1896, and it is now underway again. Although it is next week when it will reach its peak (Tuesday is the lighting of the façade), the first activities have already begun, with the horse riding competition and the preference, which leads to the opening of the booths this afternoon and Today is Children’s Day at the attractions, with discounts. The fair recovers its dates and its usual format prior to the pandemic, since in 2021 it was held in September, by San Miguel, but without booths, only with attractions. As explained by the Councilor for the Economy, Mari Ángeles Costa, after the local government board, reduced her budget by 5% and will reach 285,000 euros for a program that offers the usual: day fair, trade fair on the Paseo de Cánovas, puppet shows (Peneque and Gorgorito), a concert by the municipal band, and all the activity at the Fairgrounds, which brings together thousands of people throughout the days of celebration. The sport mixes with the festive, and on the 28th before the Izal concert, which starts at 11:00 p.m., the Champions League final can be seen from 8:00 p.m.

Starting Tuesday at 11 p.m., the ephemeral city of the Fair will shine in an “efficient and sustainable” way, in which a total of 514,375 0.08-watt LED points will shine in 60 festive arches. The cover will be 16 meters wide by 12.50 meters high, which will also be illuminated with spherical LEDs, luminous garlands of white, green and red colors.

It is still in suspense who will be the winner of the municipal and major booths. It is today from 2:00 p.m. when the proposals of the two offers that have been presented are opened. There will be a total of nine privately managed booths. The bottle is a prohibited practice “except in places enabled for it,” explained Costa. The ‘Only yes is yes’ campaign will be present at the Cáceres Fair, which tries to prevent sexual assault and sexist violence in the context of the festivities and where promotional material, such as fans and posters, will be distributed. “Artists who perform in the municipal booth will also be provided with a small manifesto that they can read to promote parties without sexual assault.”

From May 24 to 29, the doors of the trade fair will open on the Paseo de Cánovas, which has 47 stands with 31 exhibitors, 17 of them food, mostly from Extremadura that offer sausages, cheeses, liqueurs and crafts.
