San Juan 2023 in Madrid: schedule of concerts, activities and parades
The festivities of San Juan are lived with intensity in a large part of the Spanish geography. And, although they generally have a longer tradition in coastal towns (such as Alicante), they are also very much enjoyed in places like Madrid, where different concerts, activities and parades are held every year.. Specifically, districts such as Retiro and Ciudad Lineal carry out their own proposals to commemorate this celebration between June 23 and 25.
In this way, the people of Madrid will welcome the summer with music, shows and gastronomic initiatives. The activities begin on the night of San Juan, this Friday, June 23; They continue on the day on which the birth of Saint John the Baptist is commemorated, on Saturday, June 24, and extend until Sunday, June 25.. In the case of the Retiro district, the programming is divided between its northern zone (on Narváez street, at the intersection of Doce de Octubre and Ibiza streets) and south (Martin Luther King Park and Adelfas Sports Center).
Whether you are residents of these neighborhoods or from other parts of Madrid, you can get closer if you are attracted by what they have planned in their program. In addition, a large bonfire will also be lit in Vicálvaro on the night of San Juan, and there will be activities in other municipalities of the Community of Madrid such as Alcobendas and Alcalá de Henares.
In Alcalá, the free concert of the veteran indie pop-rock group La Habitación Roja stands out, which will perform at 10:00 p.m. on Friday the 23rd in Juan de Austria Park, just after the young band Vaho, which will perform at 9:00 p.m.: 00. At the end of these concerts, the San Juan bonfire will be lit at midnight in the park.
