The El Boalo City Council has organized its summer festivals, which will run until July 6th, offering a varied program of activities for all audiences.

The festivities include traditional bull runs (encierros), children's activities, concerts, and the emblematic neighborhood Brotherhood Dinner. These five days of celebrations will turn the municipality into a leisure hub in the Sierra de Guadarrama.
The Plaza de la Constitución, the Recinto Ferial (Fairgrounds), and the former Justice of the Peace building will be the main venues. The festivals kicked off with a proclamation and the presentation of local groups (peñas), alongside the screening of World Cup matches on a giant screen.
The nights will feature live music from major orchestras such as Anaconda, La Reina, Clan Zero, and La Jungla, as well as a tribute concert to La Oreja de Van Gogh. For younger audiences, DJ sessions are scheduled at the former Justice of the Peace building.
Bullfighting tradition will be present with morning bull runs and afternoon bullfights featuring un-picadored bulls. For the youngest attendees, there will be children's bull runs, inflatable water slides, and classic foam parties.
Other notable events include the 'Humor Amarillo de Peñas' competition and the theatrical play 'La Casa de la Cupletista'. On July 6th, local customs like 'La Mojá' and 'La Pelá' will be revived, concluding with the traditional and large Brotherhood Dinner.
