Events in Tarifa - Event Schedule
What goes on in Tarifa in 2008/2009
In this section we will keep you updated on events in and around Tarifa.
Easter week in Tarifa (Semana Santa)
The Semana Santa (Easter) in 2009 starts April 3rd and lasts until April 12th. In this period the traditional celebrations take place and the town fills up with mostly spanish visitors.
The brotherhoods will once again carry the Saints through town, followed by musicians creating this incomparable atmosphere.
Ferry of Tarifa (Feria)
The first weekend in September is a fixed date in Tarifa's calendar for the annual Feria (fair). This event represents the most important period of the cultural calendar in Tarifa.
The Cabalgata rings in the party when hundreds of horsemen escort the patron saint of Tarifa (the virgin of light) from a nearby shrine into the centre of Tarifa town.
Many set up pavilions at the fair yard that invite you to eat, drink, and dance all night long. The streets are filled with people crying out loud: "Viva la virgin de la Luz!" (Long live the virgin of light!).
For the following week public life in Tarifa comes to a stop.
