Christmas in Alcalá de Henares will once again be celebrated in style. For six weeks, from November 29 to January 6, the city of Alcalá de Henares will bring out its Christmas atmosphere with an extensive program designed especially for children, but which adults can also enjoy.
As in many other places, the starting signal for the festivities will coincide with the lighting of the Christmas lights. It will be then -next Friday- when the big Christmas market in Cervantes square will open to the public: a row of stalls where you can find crafts, food stalls, attractions… or simply a corner where you can stroll around contemplating the lights and browsing the different stalls.
Also in the square will be located an ice skating rink, a carousel, ecological attractions, a railway train around a tree 20 meters high and a Ferris wheel for the little ones.

All of the above, as we said, is completed with an extensive program of activities that will start on November 29 at 19h with the Christmas proclamation in the music kiosk of the Plaza de Cervantes, by the Schola Cantorum.
During the long weekend in December it will be time for musical performances:
