Malaga Christmas Light Switch-On 2025

Malaga switches on its Christmas lights on Friday 28 November 2025 at around 18:30. The display runs nightly until 6 January.

The light show

Calle Larios is the centrepiece. Thousands of lights stretch from Plaza de la Constitucion toward the port. A synchronised music and light show plays at 18:30, 20:00, and 22:00 each evening.

The shows are skipped on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

The switch-on event

The first night draws large crowds. People gather early along Calle Larios and the surrounding streets. Street performers, churros stalls, and a festive atmosphere build through the evening.

What else to see

Malaga has Christmas markets, nativity scene routes, and a light trail at the botanical gardens. For a full guide, see our post on Christmas in Malaga.
