Estepona Comes Alive — Street Festival
A weekend of cultural, sporting and gastronomic events across Estepona's streets and public spaces. A highlight of the city's spring cultural calendar.
Estepona Comes Alive is an event that takes over a weekend in March or early April with cultural, sporting and gastronomic activities spread across the streets and public spaces of Estepona's town centre. The city itself — its squares, streets and shops — becomes the stage for the celebration.
The event has established itself in recent years as one of the highlights of Estepona's spring cultural calendar. It is a way of activating the city and its spaces with content and programming aimed at both residents and visitors.
A good time to discover Estepona outside high season, when the city belongs more to its residents than to its visitors.
