LUZMADRID 2026

Art, technology, memory and urban landscape:

In its third edition, LuzMadrid remains committed to strengthening Madrid’s position in Europe’s cultural landscape by promoting encounters, creativity and diverse views of our city by Spanish and international artists. Through a range of contemporary art forms and using light as an expressive tool, it creates a space for dialogue, innovation and a sense of belonging.

This year, LuzMadrid aims to establish a productive exchange between art, technology, memory and the urban landscape. The urban landscape encompasses buildings, streets, squares and parks, but it is more than just architecture. It is what we experience, what we do and what we feel in the city. LuzMadrid brings together art and technology to highlight its beauty, history and identity. This year, it focuses much of its attention on Arganzuela, a district that still contains some excellent examples of the capital’s industrial past and its distinctive Neo-Mudéjar architecture.

LuzMadrid 2026 invites us to see and experience the city in a new way. The event promotes the idea of high-quality yet accessible culture that is both deeply significant and accessible to all, bringing together artists, enthusiasts and casual visitors. It’s a festival that transforms Madrid into a liveable work of art.

From 12 to 14 March, Madrid becomes the capital of light once again.
