We want to come out to the big parade in Rojales in 2020. Some sites say it is 29th June. Does it always fall on that date or is is the nearest Friday or Saturday. Thanks for your help

The Moors & Christians is part of the month's celebrations for the patron Saint of Rojales - San Pedro - whose day is June 29th, which is a Monday next year.
On that day, among other things, there will be a big firework display in the evening.
Then the Moors & Christians parades take place from the Thursday to Sunday (2nd - 5th July) following:-
Thursday: re-enactment & gun battle on the Malecon del Soto
Friday: charanga (fun carnival parade)
Saturday & Sunday: grand parades of the moors & Christians
