Madrid offers cultural celebrations and activities all year round, with something for every taste. From traditional festivities to major international events, the capital boasts a calendar full of unique experiences. Among the most notable are Veranos de la Villa, the San Isidro Festivities, and the Madrid International Jazz Festival.

Veranos de la Villa: culture in every corner
During the summer months, Madrid fills with music, theatre, dance, and film through the Veranos de la Villa festival. Its activities are spread across different parts of the city, bringing culture to parks, squares, and theatres. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy Madrid’s vibrant outdoor atmosphere and experience unforgettable summer nights.

San Isidro: the most traditional celebration
Every May, Madrid celebrates the festivities in honour of San Isidro Labrador, the city’s patron saint. Pilgrimages, chotis dancing, parades, concerts, and the traditional Pradera de San Isidro transform the capital into a place where tradition and modernity come together. It’s the ideal moment to discover Madrid’s most authentic side and enjoy its popular, festive spirit.

Madrid International Jazz Festival: music without borders
In autumn, the city hosts the Madrid International Jazz Festival, an event that brings together major jazz legends and emerging artists. Concerts held in theatres, auditoriums, and venues across the capital fill Madrid with music for several weeks. It’s a must for jazz lovers and a unique way to experience the city from a cultural angle.
