There are many Fiestas in the Region of Murcia.

Every city, town and village has its own special day when they hold their fiesta. Each fiesta varies from place to place and usually celebrates a Saint (Santa) or Religious festival (such as Easter), or a product of the area (such as wine), or a historical event (such as the Roman Fiesta of Cartagena), in fact they don't really need an excuse to have a Fiesta!!

The Fiesta are wonderful, colourful, vibrant events which include fabulous processions, costumes and music.

The costumes are splendid and must take all year to make, the floats are covered in flowers and banners are carried.

The whole town is involved, there are marching bands, local dignitaries, complete families from grand mother to the smallest babies, who are pushed along in decorated pushchairs.

The Fiestas usually go on well into the night, with music, dancing in the street, food on every corner and culminating in a spectacular firework display.
