Noche de San Juan

Parque de la Cornisa (San Francisco el Grande)

About

Bonfires and fireworks light up the night skies on June 22nd and 23rd to celebrate the summer solstice, an ancient tradition that's becoming more and more popular in Madrid. Bring along any old furniture, broken toys or even papier-mache models of politicians you despise and throw them on the flames. Try popular meeting points like Parque de la Cornisa (next to San Francisco el Grande church), Parque de San Juan (Ciudad Lineal), open spaces in the Hortaleza district or the Vallecas and Vicaro fairgrounds if you want to join in the fun.
