Fiestas de Canillejas 2026

The Fiestas de Canillejas bring the Madrid neighborhood of Canillejas to life with a packed programme of family-friendly entertainment and live music. Set in the San Blas-Canillejas district, the festivities include children's shows like 'La isla de los dinosaurios' and 'El pañuelo de la abuela', plus face painting for the little ones. As evening falls, the Plaza de La Villa hosts a jazz and American music set by Cuarteto In Time, while the Auditorio Parque Canillejas features performances by Montoya & Carmona and La Versioneta, a band covering pop, rock, and indie hits from the 80s to today. The celebration culminates in a grand fireworks display.

Rooted in a neighborhood with a rich history—once an independent municipality absorbed by Madrid in 1949—the fiestas offer a genuine local experience. With free entry, visitors can wander the streets, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and take in the community spirit that defines this middle-class barrio near Barajas Airport.
