Fiestas de Canillejas 2026

The Fiestas de Canillejas bring the Madrid neighborhood of Canillejas to life each September. This year's celebration takes place over two days, with the main event on the evening of the 8th. The festivities center on the Plaza de La Villa, where a mass is held, followed by a procession through the streets. It's a chance to experience a traditional Spanish neighborhood fiesta, with a strong sense of community and local culture.

Canillejas itself is a historic area, once a separate municipality absorbed by Madrid in 1949. It's a middle-class neighborhood close to Barajas Airport, and its main street leads into the heart of the city. The event is free to attend, making it an accessible way to enjoy local traditions. Visitors can expect a religious and cultural celebration that highlights the area's heritage, with the procession being a key highlight.
