Madrid, Navidad de Encuentro

Guest country: USA

Madrid is a welcoming city, an open community that invites those who come from elsewhere to share its customs and celebrations. The fifth edition of Madrid, Navidad de Encuentro is once again a reflection of the hospitality that so characterises our city: a meeting place for the festive season, a place to celebrate Christmas and, at the same time, culture in all its different manifestations.

This year, the guest country is the United States. And so, with their festive and cultural customs as a common thread, we will gather together to dance, enjoy, learn, play and even skate. Concerts, workshops, shows, gastronomy, films and daily snowfalls (whatever you do, don't miss them, they start at 6pm) to enjoy with the family, in this giant, welcoming family that is Madrid.

It will snow in Plaza Matadero

From 22 November to 3 January, from 6pm

There’s a very special moment every day in this Christmas Meeting: when the clock strikes 6 in the afternoon, the snow will start to fall, adding to the celebrations and turning the Plaza Matadero and its surroundings into a typically festive landscape. There will be six snowfalls, one every fifteen minutes, to help you enjoy a picture-postcard Christmas.

In collaboration with the US Embassy in Spain
