Festivals & Events in Segovia

Titirimundi has turned Segovia into the world's puppetry capital every May since 1985, when Julio Michel founded it. In 2026 the 40th edition (May 12-17) brought together 40 companies from nine countries. Street shows are free; indoor performances are ticketed and sold online at tickets.turismodesegovia.com.

Segovia's big fiestas always land around San Juan (June 24) and San Pedro (June 29). In 2026 the festive core ran from June 19 to 30, with the official opening on Saturday the 20th, and according to the municipal program reported by local press, 97% of it was free: verbenas almost every night in Plaza Mayor, parades, giants and bigheads. You only pay for the bullfight and a handful of concerts.

San Frutos is Segovia's patron saint, and his feast day never moves: October 25, every year. The symbol of the celebration is "the miracle of the turning page" — the metal book held by the saint's statue on the Cathedral, which turns a page right at midnight. Free and out in the open street; plan to sleep in Segovia, since there's no train or bus back at that hour.
