Annual Events

Spain marks its national day with pomp and pageantry (12 October).

All Saints' Day, Halloween, the Day of the Dead... Madrid has created a fusion of these three traditions from different cultures to celebrate this day in style.

As Christmas trees and decorations light up streets and squares, Madrid celebrates everyone’s favourite holiday with a programme packed with cultural and leisure activities.

Thousands flock to the city to attend the processions and to enjoy the atmosphere created by the trumpets, drums and the hundreds of religious worshippers' bright and colourful attire (11 to 20 April 2025).

Every year on and around May 15th, Madrid honours its patron saint, San Isidro.

August is a fantastic month to experience Madrid at its most traditional, as it celebrates the San Cayetano, San Lorenzo and Virgen de la Paloma festivities (August 2025).
