Experience the soul of the city during the year’s most beloved celebration.
The wait is over! The official program for San Isidro 2026 has just been released, marking the return of Madrid’s most authentic and vibrant festival. Every May, the city transforms to honor its patron saint with a unique blend of centuries-old tradition and modern street culture.
What to Expect
- A City in Bloom: Madrid "smells like carnations" as locals don their traditional chulapo outfits and the streets come alive with music.
- The "Verbena" Vibe: Immerse yourself in the famous verbenas—vibrant open-air parties featuring live concerts, dancing, and delicious local street food (don't miss the rosquillas!).
- Iconic Venues: From the traditional picnics at the Pradera de San Isidro to world-class performances in Plaza Mayor and Matadero, the festival takes over the entire city.
Plan Your Visit
