What to do in A Coruña in febrero

The Three Kings' Cavalcade rolls through downtown on the evening of January 5 and ends in Plaza de María Pita, the grand finale of A Coruña's Christmas before the night of gifts.

Camellias hit their peak: the 'Camellias in Bloom' tourist train sets off in early March from the Pazo de Mariñán, just outside the city.

A Coruña's Holy Week brings twelve processions to the streets — March 27 to April 5 in 2026 — peaking with Good Friday's Santo Entierro setting out from the Orden Tercera.

Os Maios celebrates the spring cycle in early May: cone-shaped figures draped in flowers, ferns and fennel parade through neighborhoods like Barrio de las Flores amid folk songs.

St. John's Eve, June 23, is a Festival of International Tourist Interest: over 150,000 people and hundreds of bonfires fill Riazor and Orzán beaches until dawn.

The Festas do Carme honor sailors' patron on July 16 with a maritime procession: the icon sets sail from the port followed by dozens of decorated boats.

The Fiestas de María Pita fill all of August: a full month of concerts, fairs and street parties that transform the city in honor of the heroine who defended it in 1589.

The sea stays warm and the city beaches empty out after August's crush: the best time to swim at Riazor without fighting for a spot on the sand.

The Fiestas del Rosario honor the patron saint around October 7, with a floral carpet 45 by 50 meters laid out across Plaza de María Pita.

Magosto celebrates St. Martin's around November 11 with roasted chestnuts and new wine, the quintessential Galician autumn festival.

Christmas lights up downtown with the illuminations, the holiday market and the ice rink in the Méndez Núñez gardens, a beloved A Coruña holiday classic.
