La Antigua Fair 2026 (Guadalajara)
The La Antigua Fair and Festival 2026 is the most important event on Guadalajara's festive calendar. Celebrated in honor of the Virgin of La Antigua, the city's patron saint, it takes place during the first two weeks of September and combines religious tradition, cultural activities, concerts, gastronomy, and a prominent bullfighting program.
The fair has its roots in ancient popular celebrations linked to the patron saint's feast day, whose devotion dates back several centuries. Over time, these festivities evolved into one of the major events of late summer in Castilla-La Mancha, bringing together thousands of locals and visitors each year.
Bullfighting events play a central role in the program. The Guadalajara Bullring, inaugurated in 1887 and known as the Coso de Las Cruces, hosts a fair with bullfights, novilladas (bullfights with young bulls), and other bullfighting events featuring established figures and promising young bullfighters. The bullfighting tradition in Guadalajara has helped solidify this fair as one of the most important in September.
In addition to the bullfights, the city offers a festive atmosphere during these days with parades, bullfighting clubs, street parties, children's activities, sporting events, and concerts, making the La Antigua Fair a celebration for all ages.
