MAZARRON FAIR - 13-17 AUGUST

The initiative that assists the Department of Trade of the City of Mazarrón aims to help small and medium traders in the Town by offering stalls in a thoroughfare during the long weekend of August, one of the best selling dates of the year. 

During the first edition of this event held last year participating Merchants came to raise 30m Euros, as confirmed by Francisca Madrid, President of Acoma, la Asociación de Comerciantes de Mazarrón y Comarca.

From 13 to 17 August, from seven in the afternoon, ten stalls offer their items with discounts,  in some cases 70% compared to the shop price. Since Easter, Acoma have been organizing the Outlet Fair,this one being the third in less than a year. To join, the project stallholders must be Associated. Francisca Madrid acknowledges the support received from the Department of Commerce to push through "an initiative which is an aid in a difficult time like the present."

David Fernandez, Councillor of Commerce, remarked  "Today's commercial initiative of the Municipality overs a very important part of the economic fabric of Mazarrón, which is holding up very well despite the crisis, even generating jobs."

The Mayor of Mazarrón, Francisco Garcia, expects "the large concentration of citizens visiting Puerto de Mazarrón will have a substantial impact on benefits for small businesses that are in the Municipality." The Mayor hopes that expectations are exceeded, after the good data provided last year.

 The Municipal Consumer Information Office will be closed from August 18 to September 16 inclusive. However, those wishing to process their applications can visit the General Register of the City of Mazarrón, or in the case of Consumer Arbitration through Ocag

  2. Lets do the numbers shall we ...

    10 stalls for five days for seven hours a day (assuming that they all close at 02:00) - thats 350 trading hours.

    €30,000,000 as identified above as the turnover divided by 350 = €85,700.

    Are we really supposed to believe that all of these stalls are taking €85,700 each and every hour that they are open??

    Don't think so .......
