Everything on in Benalmádena — live events, gigs, markets, fiestas and nightlife for today, tonight and this week. Updated regularly, free to browse.
Benalmádena's calendar is split between its three centres. Arroyo de la Miel has the big one — the Feria de San Juan in the last week of June, straight after the bonfires on the beach on the night of the 23rd. Benalmádena Pueblo answers with flower carpets through its streets for Corpus Christi and its own fair for the Virgen de la Cruz in mid-August, and the marina sends the Virgen del Carmen out to sea on 16 July.
Week to week there's the Friday market by the old Tivoli site and the Wednesday flea market beside Parque de la Paloma, with concerts and exhibitions at the reopened Castillo de Bil-Bil. This page keeps the coming days — tonight, this weekend and the week ahead — in one place, updated as events are confirmed.

Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena
Benalmádena's Christmas programme across its three centres — lights and a market in Arroyo de la Miel, a nativity trail in the Pueblo and illuminations around Puerto Marina, running through to Epiphany. The switch-on date is confirmed nearer the time.
Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena
The Three Kings parade on the eve of Epiphany — floats, music and sweets through Arroyo de la Miel, with the Kings also visiting Benalmádena Pueblo. The big family night of the Spanish Christmas.
The white village at its prettiest — neighbours lay carpets of fresh flowers and herbs along the streets and dress the balconies before the Corpus Christi procession passes over them. Corpus falls on 27 May in 2027; the village's celebration day is confirmed nearer the time.
Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena
Arroyo de la Miel's summer fair in honour of San Juan — casetas, free concerts and a funfair, following the bonfires on the beach on the night of the 23rd. In 2026 it ran 24–29 June; the 2027 programme is confirmed nearer the time.
The fishermen's patron is taken out to sea from Benalmádena's marina at dusk, escorted by a flotilla of boats, with music and fireworks along the seafront.
The old village's own fair in honour of its patron, in mid-August — a procession, music and dancing in the squares of Benalmádena Pueblo on warm summer nights. Dates follow the 2026 pattern (13–16 August) and are confirmed nearer the time.
Friday is the main street market, 9am–2pm on the old Tivoli car park next to Arroyo de la Miel train station, with around 300 stalls. A flea market runs on Wednesdays at the fairground beside Parque de la Paloma.
There are two. Arroyo de la Miel's Feria de San Juan is in late June (24–29 June in 2026), and Benalmádena Pueblo's Feria de la Virgen de la Cruz is in mid-August.
On the night of 23 June there are bonfires, music and midnight swims on the beaches, and the Feria de San Juan follows in Arroyo de la Miel with casetas, free concerts and a funfair.
Neighbours carpet the village streets with fresh flowers and herbs and decorate their balconies, and the procession passes over the carpets. It falls in late May or June depending on Easter.
