The 17th Fuengirola International Fair is expected to attract in excess of one million visitors between the 29th April and 2nd May and the Costa del Disco is proud to have been confirmed by the US embassy in Madrid, as the company chosen to run the American caseta (stands) at this annual fair, now in its 17th year.
American Entertainment to include:
The American caseta will feature the great American contribution to music for the 2011 fair, and will have Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks, Meatloaf, Cher, Billy Joel and Neil Diamond tribute shows, as well as live music from Rockabilly, Blue Grass and American Jazz bands.
The Costa All Star Cheerleaders, a local cheerleading school for 5 to 18 year olds will give displays, a Line-Dancing group will perform daily and encourage the public to join in with them, and top International DJ’s from the Studio 54/Saturday Night Fever era will keep the party going well into the small hours with great music and 70s disco lighting.
Sideshows and competitions aimed at the younger visitors will keep them entertained whilst parents can enjoy classic American Burgers, Southern Fried Chicken, Pulled Pork and of course American Apple Pie amongst many other traditional American foods on the menu.
The ‘Stars and Stripes’ flag will be used extensively around the caseta as well as other American memorabilia, and visitors can look forward to seeing some “Hogs” outside the American caseta thanks to the Fuengirola Harley Davidson Club. The Mississippi Coasters line dancers will also be giving a display and inviting the public to join in.
There will be an area dedicated to the 50 states that make up the USA where visitors will find travel, education and cultural information, and Jack Daniels will have a display.
