Torrevieja Fair Remains at Antonio Soria Park for 2025
The Town Council of Torrevieja, together with the Torrevejense Association of Fair Industrialists (ATIF), has announced that the fair will continue to be held at the Antonio Soria park for another year. This decision, communicated by Councilman Federico Alarcón on May 12, 2025, comes after considerations regarding potential relocation to the port of Torrevieja for the summer months of July and August.
Reasons Behind the Decision
The council’s decision to keep the fair at its current location stems from various factors:
- Economic Impact: The fair had already experienced a drop in revenue after being relocated in 2023, and a move to the port could further jeopardize its financial stability.
- Construction concerns: transitioning the attractions to the port would disrupt ongoing construction of a new leisure area at the port, potentially delaying the completion of these works and the fair’s return in 2026.
- Unanimous Support: The decision to stay at the antonio Soria park was reached with the unanimous agreement from the members of ATIF, demonstrating a strong consensus among local stakeholders.
A Brief History of the Fair
- June 2023: After a six-month hiatus, the fair resumed operations at the Antonio Soria park following its relocation from its traditional site.
- Summer 2025: The fair will continue at the park, ensuring that the attractions remain accessible to the local population and visitors.
What This Means for Visitors
With the fair remaining at the Antonio Soria park, attendees can look forward to:
- Consistent Experience: Visitors will enjoy a familiar and accessible location for the fair.
- support for Local Businesses: Keeping the fair in a established area helps sustain local economic activity during the busy summer months.
the decision reflects a strategic approach to balancing the interests of various parties involved, from fair operators to local businesses, and ensures continuity for visitors enjoying the summer festivities in Torrevieja.
