The most important event, in terms of prestige and long history, on the cultural scene of the province of Jaén. Every spring, the Conservatory and the Teatro Infanta Leonor host this long-running competition, organised by the Diputación Provincial de Jaén. It is one of the oldest of its kind in Spain.

One of the most important trade fairs in the international olive oil sector. It welcomes both the general public and technologists and scientists presenting the latest innovations developed in the field of olive growing and international olive oil. The event becomes a major showcase where gastronomy and its tourist appeal come together.

The summer season begins in the province of Jaén with the “Noches de Palacio” cultural programme, featuring a varied cultural agenda: music, theatre, circus, dance and film.

Summer in Jaén hosts this interesting and original programme bringing together music, distinctive venues and carefully chosen gastronomy, all under one umbrella. An air of mystery surrounds each date too, since although the audience knows which performance or musical act will feature on any given day, they don't know which corner of the city it will be held in. On arrival, they discover a pleasant setting where they can enjoy a tapa or gourmet treat before the performance begins.
 

Known as the "feria chica" (little fair), this celebration of religious origin fills the iconic San Ildefonso neighbourhood of the capital with lanterns and outdoor café tables. Concerts, theatre and various cultural events usually round out the festive programme.

This event is usually held in March and involves dozens of restaurants from across the province's various regions, who prepare special dishes and menus that typically showcase products bearing the "Degusta Jaén" quality seal as their star ingredients.

The International Festival of Music, Dance and Folk Songs, better known as Folk del Mundo, is one of the oldest summer events in the province of Jaén, bringing together folklore from other cultures.

Year after year, Jaén brings together thousands of hunters at one of the region's largest fairs dedicated to hunting. It is, in fact, one of the Spanish provinces with the most land available for hunting and fishing. 

This festival has established itself as one of the capital's major cultural events, spanning classical music, dance, flamenco and theatre, as well as an interesting range of complementary activities.

Nature tourism, culture, gastronomy, shows, sport and active leisure are the pillars of this fair, held at the Provincial Fair and Conference Centre. This event, a pioneer in placing our region at the forefront of inland tourism, has established itself as the best showcase for promoting the rich heritage found throughout the province of Jaén.
