The 2026 Malaga White Night already has a date

Málaga will once again stay up for culture in 2026. The City Council announced this Wednesday the date for next year's Noche en Blanco, which will mark the seventeenth edition of this major cultural event.

It will be held on May 16th, and the chosen theme is 'Málaga, the future is written with music', which combines optimism, emotion, projection, and creativity. Music as the driving force of the city and as the score to write the future of a community; music as an inseparable companion of each life, from the beginning of humanity; and music as a universal language that facilitates social cohesion and citizen participation, since it knows no languages or borders.

In this year's edition, held last May, 213,789 visitors participated in the various scheduled activities. Of this number, the events held on the streets had the highest attendance with 74,672 participants. The Department of Culture and Historical Heritage paid tribute to the artist Rafael Pérez Estrada in various activities such as the 'Pérezestradiana' Immersion at the Municipal Archive, 'The Ascending Law of Poetry' and 'The Shadows of Pérez Estrada' on Calle Larios, or the Information Point, which was transformed into a Cloud Factory at the beginning of the same street.
