Castellón 2026 bullfighting tickets

The Magdalena Fair of Castellón 2026 promises to be an exceptional showcase of culture, tradition and celebration – perfect for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the authentic festivities of the Valencian Community. Declared an International Tourist Interest Festival in 2010, this fair is held every year from the third Saturday of Lent, spanning nine days of unique events that fill the streets of Castellón with life, music and colour. One particular feature of these festivities is that the dates vary between February, March and April. In 2026, the fair will take place from 8 to 15 March, timed strategically to coincide with Valencia’s Fallas, allowing visitors to enjoy both celebrations.

During the fair week, Castellón becomes the epicentre of local traditions: the collas (social clubs) take to the streets in their traditional attire; parades and processions recreate the city’s history; and the nights are lit up by fireworks that adorn the Mediterranean sky.

At the heart of the celebration are the bullfights at Castellón’s Bullring, where top matadors gather to honour the fiesta. The bullfighting fair has cemented Castellón’s status as a key reference point in the Spanish taurine calendar, offering a programme that combines bullfights with popular festivities.
