Majadahonda is gearing up for ten days of concerts, a medieval market, children’s activities, sports, bull runs, orchestras, and sky shows. The Patron Saint Festivities in honor of the Santísimo Cristo de los Remedios will be held from September 11 to 20, with Nil Moliner, Funambulista, Efecto Mariposa, Besmaya, Siempre Así, and a tribute to Mecano among the headliners.
One of the most anticipated moments will take place on Saturday, September 12: around 400 drones will draw luminous figures in the sky starting at 9:30 p.m. The show can be viewed from the Fairgrounds and Adolfo Suárez Park; it will be free and will be held for the third consecutive year.
The official kickoff will take place on Friday, September 11, with the opening address delivered from the balcony of City Hall. This year, Rayo Majadahonda will deliver the address, marking the start of ten days of programming spread across the Fairgrounds, Colón Park, Plaza de la Constitución, Gran Vía, and other venues throughout the city.
Drones and Efecto Mariposa
Saturday, September 12, brings together two of the highlights of the first weekend. At 9:30 p.m., some 400 drones will fly over Majadahonda to create a choreographed display of luminous figures synchronized to music. The viewing area will be located in Adolfo Suárez Park and in the upper section of the Fairgrounds.
Afterward, at 10:00 p.m., Efecto Mariposa will perform at Colón Park. The Málaga-based band, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, will perform songs such as “Por quererte,” “No me crees,” and “El mundo” as part of a free concert.
That same day will also feature the traditional concert by the Municipal Band, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the bandstand in Plaza de la Constitución.
