Fiestas del Real Sitio de El Pardo 2026

The Fiestas del Real Sitio de El Pardo turn the historic royal site on Madrid's edge into a lively two-day celebration. The programme opens with a guided walk along the Manzanares riverbank, from the Puente de los Capuchinos to the Presa de El Pardo, organised by the Montecarmelo Nature Interpretation Centre. Later, the Plaza de El Pardo hosts a concert by the Royal Guard Music Unit, and the Parque Concejal Miguel Martín Vela offers a tasting of caldereta de gamo, a traditional local stew.

As the day unfolds, trophies are handed out for the fairground activities, and students of María Sanz Peña perform a dance show. A solemn mass takes place at the Virgen del Carmen church, and the evening closes with fireworks at the Boyerizas site. The festivities are free to attend, making it an easy and welcoming outing for visitors exploring Madrid's surroundings.
