San Isidro is not only celebrated in the capital, other municipalities of the Community of Madrid also join the festivities of the patron saint, as is the case of Alcobendas. From May 14 to 18, this city in the north of Madrid will fill its Recinto Ferial with free concerts, workshops and a specific program for children. The City Council will have three free bus lines to reach the epicenter of the events.
Among the great novelties this year are the beverage bar next to the main stage, although on Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm alcohol will not be sold on the premises, and the stand with gluten-free products.
During all the days from May 14 to 18, at the fairgrounds there will be a municipal booth “Imagina Kids” with workshops, games and free activities for children (prior registration). In addition to the Imagina Sound in the youth area with concerts and DJ sessions every afternoon and evening.
Of course, there will be places for local folklore with chotis and zarzuelas in the Plaza del Pueblo.
