December 6 to January 5 Christmas, New Year and Three Kings in Los Alcázares
A host of activities and events for all ages over the festive period in Los Alcázares
Don't miss the free guided tours over the holiday season!
As the town of Los Alcázares grows in size and population so too do the range and importance of the events staged by the Town Hall over the festive period, and in 2025-26, as well as the Christmas lights, the New Year's party in the marquee outside the Town Hall and the Three Kings parade on 5th January, the schedule also includes various free guided tours, (on foot, by bicycle and even on the water of the Mar Menor), the now traditional Santa motorbike parade, the Navidadlandia experience (complete with ice skating!) and a huge variety of events designed to appeal to both young and old!
So stock up the fridge (or start booking in the local restaurants), prepare for a month of celebration and browse through the programme to decide how you'll be joining in the fun!
