About the event
Madrid's patron saint festival closes on 16 May 2027 - esMadrid gives that end date and puts the start only at 'early May'. The city's own listing leaves the 2027 venues blank, which means the programme is not out either. What is known is the shape: concerts and parades in the squares, the religious events at the saint's chapel, and the bullfighting season at Las Ventas.
Not published as of 2026-10-19 beyond the closing date, 16 May 2027. The city's 2027 entry has blank venue and address fields, so the order of the days is unknown. The festival's general shape: concerts, parades and dancing at Plaza Mayor, Las Vistillas and the Pradera de San Isidro, religious events at the saint's chapel and collegiate church, and the San Isidro bullfighting season at Las Ventas.
Not published as of 2026-10-19. The street elements of San Isidro have historically been free and public, but the city's 2027 listing carries no programme, no venues and no access information, and the bullfighting at Las Ventas is ticketed separately from the festival. The closing date, 16 May 2027, is what is confirmed.
