Annual Events

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

This annual event is a wonderful way to celebrate and support tolerance and diversity (28 Jun-7 Jul 2024).

August is a fantastic month to experience a Madrid at its most traditional, as it celebrates the San Cayetano, San Lorenzo and Virgen de la Paloma festivities (2-15 August 2024).

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

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 (24 to 31 March 2024).
