What's On in Málaga

Everything on in Málaga — live events, gigs, markets, fiestas and nightlife for today, tonight and this week. Updated regularly, free to browse.

Narrow it down: Tonight

Málaga has the biggest calendar on the coast. Holy Week is what the city is famous for: each evening huge tronos are carried through the centre by teams of bearers, with seating lining Calle Larios. In August the Feria takes over for a week — by day in the historic centre from midday, by night at the Cortijo de Torres fairground with casetas, rides and free concerts. Late February and early March bring the Festival de Málaga, the main festival of Spanish-language cinema.

From late November to Twelfth Night, Calle Larios hosts the city's famous Christmas lights, with a light-and-music show several times each evening. Week to week it's theatre at the Soho, the Cervantes and the Echegaray, concerts from small clubs to the Martín Carpena arena, and exhibitions at the Picasso, the Pompidou and the Thyssen. This page keeps the coming days — tonight, this weekend and the week ahead — in one place, updated as events are confirmed.
