M\u00e1laga\u2019s White Night<\/strong> is the city\u2019s big cultural night: for five hours, museums, monuments and public spaces are open free of charge, and the city centre is transformed into one continuous stage.<\/p>\n

It takes place on a Saturday in May<\/strong> and is organised by the City Council. Here\u2019s how it works, what happened at the last event and when the next one will be.<\/p>\n\n

When is the next Noche en Blanco?<\/h2>\n

The most recent edition, the 17th, took place on Saturday 16 May 2026.<\/strong> It\u2019s over now.<\/p>\n

The next one will be the 18th edition, in May 2027<\/strong>. The exact date is announced by the Town Council, usually shortly after each issue<\/strong>, so it is usually known almost a year in advance. The pattern in recent years has been a Saturday in mid-May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Where to confirm this:<\/strong> on the event\u2019s official website and in the Culture section of the Town Hall\u2019s website. We will update this page as soon as it is announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Line-up
The city is open until 1 am, with free entry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is the \u2018Noche en Blanco\u2019?<\/h2>\n

A cultural initiative inspired by the \u00abNuits Blanches\u00bb<\/strong> European, which in M\u00e1laga was founded in 2008<\/strong>. The idea is simple: for one night only, the city\u2019s cultural institutions extend their opening hours and organise special activities, almost all of which free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There is no set route. Visitors walk between museums, churches, courtyards and squares, choosing what to see, and the historic centre functions as a single, open itinerary.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s neither a fair nor a street party:<\/strong> The programme centres on exhibitions, concerts, guided tours and participatory activities. It is organised by the Malaga City Council<\/strong>, sponsored by the Unicaja Foundation and Cervezas Victoria.<\/p>\n\n

This is how the 2026 edition went<\/h2>\n

The 17th edition<\/strong> The event took place on Saturday 16 May 2026, from 8.00 pm to 1.00 am<\/strong>, under the slogan \u00abM\u00e1laga: the future is written with music\u00bb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The figures:<\/strong> almost 150 free activities<\/strong> scattered throughout 98 spaces<\/strong> in the city. To help the public find their way, leaflets were handed out 36,800 leaflets<\/strong> and 10,000 programmes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The most remarkable thing about that night:<\/strong><\/p>\n
