The Best of Hispanidad 2026: Unmissable Festival Events in Madrid
From 2 to 12 October, Hispanidad brings concerts, parades, film and gastronomy to Madrid, with Estados Unidos as the guest country. The festival takes place around 12 October, a date linked to Columbus's arrival in America in 1492 and known as Día de la Hispanidad. Today, the Madrid programme invites you to discover the different cultures that share Spanish. Out of more than 200 activities, we've picked the most interesting events to explore traditions, sample Mexican flavours, and end the festival with fireworks at Cibeles.
