In late July 2026, the Ciudad Real municipal council unanimously approved two new local holidays for 2027: May 17 and July 31. The council also authorized a €1.43 million credit amendment to fund various municipal initiatives, including housing assistance, cultural equipment, and emergency aid.

By mid-August, the city held its Feria y Fiestas, featuring community activities such as ‘Balonmano en la Calle’ at Parque de Gasset and games organized by the ACAI association in the Prado gardens. Local officials emphasized the use of public gardens as safe spaces for family-oriented festivities. The handball event allowed youth to interact with ASOBAL players and members of the women's silver team.

As the fair concluded, the Ciudad Real Tourism Office provided cultural alternatives through guided tours of emblematic sites, including the cathedral. Officials noted that the fair week represents one of the city’s peak tourism seasons, second only to Holy Week, with workloads increasing by approximately 30% during this period.
