[INE municipal tables 68535 and 68541](). ## What is Summer festivals In many towns the main summer festival — evening dances, bull-running, concerts, related religious acts — is advertised under a proper name (St John’s, Our Lady of August, the Royal Fair…). When the official bulletin summarises the leave as “fiestas de verano”, the dataset keeps that label as published, without inventing a dedication. Cultural content therefore differs from place to place: what is shared is only the season and the local character of the holiday. In 2026 the calendar includes, for example, Castellanos de Moriscos (Castile and León) and Cabanillas del Campo (Castilla-La Mancha), each with its own date. Anyone looking for the concrete programme — proclamation, procession, orchestra — should check that year’s municipal agenda. This page explains the calendar label: a local summer holiday, not a national feast or a single patron. ## Dates of Summer festivals In 2026 it falls on Friday 12 June in most municipalities. 2 move it to another date (when it lands on a weekend or by local agreement). | Year | Main date | Municipalities | | --- | --- | --- | | 2024 | Thursday, 22 August | 2 | | 2025 | Thursday, 21 August | 2 | | 2026 | Friday, 12 June | 3 | ## Official sources Official documents linked by the 2026 records.
