Alcorcón faces June with updates on planned power supply cuts, the future of the Ciudadella Fest, the early opening of water parks, and the upcoming San Juan Night celebration.

Iberdrola has announced scheduled power supply interruptions in Alcorcón for preventive maintenance. These outages, lasting up to one hour, will affect Paseo de Extremadura on June 15th and 16th, and Calle Porto Colón on June 16th. The company advises disconnecting sensitive electronic devices to prevent potential issues.
The debate surrounding the future of the Ciudadella Fest in Alcorcón continues. The event's promoter, Vicente One More Time, states that this year's edition will not take place due to a lack of meetings with the City Council. Meanwhile, the municipal government, represented by Culture Councilor Miriam Benítez, advocates for a festival model that is more free, decentralized, and conducive to neighborhood rest, citing past criticisms and controversies. Vicente denies censorship and attributes decisions to security concerns.
In response to high temperatures, ESMASA has advanced the opening of Alcorcón's water parks. The facilities, located at Parque Los Castillos, Polideportivo Los Cantos, and Parque Darwin, now offer a free leisure and refreshment option. Provisional hours are Monday to Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and weekends from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with plans to extend morning hours.
In commemoration of the 2026 Football World Cup, alcorconhoy.com has launched the “Terrace World Cup,” an initiative to promote local hospitality businesses. Eight establishments are competing in an elimination format through Instagram polls, with users deciding the municipality's favorite terrace. The competition includes a draw, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final scheduled for July 24th.
The traditional San Juan Night will be celebrated on Saturday, June 20th, at the Auditorio Paco de Lucía, within the Recinto Ferial of Alcorcón. The program features a mobile disco with a DJ, a wish-making ceremony, the traditional fire ritual, and the lighting of a large bonfire, with festivities continuing until 3:00 AM.
