Marbella’s Ayuntamiento has suspended institutional events during the three days of national mourning declared for victims of a railway accident in Toledo province. The council says its municipal Halloween events, originally planned during the mourning period, have been postponed until Sunday, 1 November.
The Halloween programme will run at several sites across the municipality. In Marbella, activities under the theme “El reino de las sombras” are scheduled for the Paseo de la Alameda, Avenida Nabeul and Parque de la Represa, from 18:00 until midnight.
In San Pedro Alcántara, “La pasarela de los susurros” is planned for the boulevard, also from 18:00 to midnight. In Nueva Andalucía, events are set for the district gardens from 18:00 to 21:00 and Avenida de Las Palmeras in the Colonia de El Ángel from 17:00 to 20:00. Las Chapas will host activities at Colegio Platero from 18:00 to midnight.
The council says the Día del Tostón celebrations will also proceed on 1 November. In Marbella, the event will be held at Parque de Nagüeles from midday. A sports race is due to finish there, with prizes presented before the festivities begin. The programme is expected to include children’s entertainment, inflatables and music.
Traditional chestnut distribution is planned for 16:00 to 18:00. A bar will also operate, with its proceeds going to the Agrupación de Cofradías de Marbella, according to the municipal notice.
Tostón events are additionally scheduled at Parque de los Tres Jardines in San Pedro Alcántara from 12:00 to 18:00, and at the Centro de Participación Activa in Las Chapas from 17:00 to 21:00. The announcement does not specify which other institutional events have been cancelled or rescheduled.
