Madrid bulls, Comunidad de Madrid

Celebrations before San Isidro Fair 2025

May arrives and we are warming up for the big fair! We begin the month with the classic cycle of the Madrid Community Fair. The celebrations of May 1 and 2 and the steer-bullfights on Sundays are the last appointments before San Isidro.

A total of four bullfights to enjoy in the Bullring of Las Ventas.

What is the Madrid Community Fair 2025?

On the occasion of the holiday of May 2, the Community Day of Madrid, Las Ventas Bullring celebrates the traditional ‘Corrida Goyesca’. May 2 commemorates the uprising of the town in 1808 against the French troops, which would lead to the Spanish War of Independence; made perfectly embodied in Goya's painting.

On this very special date, the bullring is decorated and bullfighters, crews and staff wear typical dresses from the time of Goya. In addition, a parade of equally Goyesque carriages takes place and you can step on the ring before the bullfight; as well as enjoy the performance of the Municipal Band of Madrid.

The poster of May 2 is usually composed mostly of Madrid names that the fans are looking forward to. To complete the Community Fair a steer-bullfight is held on May 1, national holiday.

In addition, the steer-bullfights before San Isidro continue. Plaza 1 shows that Las Ventas is the bullring of opportunities, giving rise to future promises to debut and those who have already done so to excel.
