Francophone Culture Day
A French-speaking market with crafts, food, entertainment and live music from Fine Tune Duet and DJ Chet Le Boy, on Saturday 3 October from 1:00 to 9:00 pm beside the Peseta Monument on the seafront promenade.
This edition took place in 2026.
Francophone Culture Day is the October date of 'Sharing Cultures', the municipal programme that devotes a day to each of the foreign communities living in Estepona. It takes place on Saturday 3 October, from 1:00 to 9:00 pm, on the seafront promenade beside the Peseta Monument, organised by the town council and Esprit Sud magazine.
The heart of the day is a French-speaking market with craft and food stalls, entertainment and live music. On stage: Fine Tune Duet and DJ Chet Le Boy. It is a stroll-in kind of plan: come and go as you like, eat something standing up and stay for the music as the evening falls over the sea.
Estepona is home to residents of 135 different nationalities, who make up around 32% of the registered population. 'Sharing Cultures' puts that diversity on display with free street events open to everyone.
A French market facing the sea: cheese, bread, wine, crafts and live music until night falls on the promenade.
