The programme will kick off on Monday, September 7 at 20:00 with a Grand Cutting Competition, bringing together some of the best specialists from the national scene. This event, very popular among locals, has become an unmissable date in the fair, combining skill and excitement in the bullring of Pozuelo.
On Tuesday, September 8, at 19:30, the bullring will host an equestrian show, an activity designed for all audiences that expands the offering beyond strictly bullfighting. This type of event aims to attract families and those who are attending the fair for the first time, providing a cultural and entertainment alternative.
As is tradition, the festivities will be completed with bull runs and releases, which will take place on September 7, 10, 11, and 12. Notably, the release of the II Toro de Peñas is scheduled for Saturday, the 12th, an initiative that encourages the participation of local groups and reinforces the fair's popular character.
With this programme, Pozuelo de Alarcón strengthens its commitment to bullfighting, betting on a cycle that combines emerging figures in the ranks, popular festivities, and complementary activities.

For bullfighting enthusiasts, the bullfight on September 11 is the main attraction, featuring a line-up that mixes youth and experience.

The farms of El Sierro and Valdefresno, known for their seriousness, guarantee a quality spectacle.
The cutting competition on the 7th and the equestrian show on the 8th complete an offering that is not limited to bulls but encompasses various disciplines related to the world of horses and the countryside. The bull runs, for their part, are a classic event that gathers a large audience, especially on weekends.
The fair is held at the bullring of Pozuelo de Alarcón, a venue with a capacity for several thousand people that fills up every year for the most significant events. The locality, located in the metropolitan west of Madrid, has good transport connections, making it easier for fans from across the region to arrive.
With this programme, Pozuelo de Alarcón reaffirms itself as a reference bullfighting destination in the Community of Madrid, offering a fair that combines tradition and modernity, and seeks to satisfy both the most demanding fans and those who approach this world for the first time.
