After being postponed three weeks ago due to rain, Leganés is back with its traditional May 2nd festivities. The program includes the emblematic Fiesta de las Mayas, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest by the Community of Madrid, the historical reenactment of the Rejón Brothers, which this year adds new characters like the gardeners Nicomedes Soto Garrote and Pedro Díaz Vicenti, and the Goyesco Market, which will be set up in Plaza del Milenio.

The town will transform into a scene of early 19th-century customs from Madrid. The Councilor for Festivities, Almudena A. Jiménez, highlighted that the new location for the Goyesco Market in Plaza del Milenio, next to the San Nicasio MetroSur station, will offer a larger and more comfortable space to enjoy crafts, gastronomy, and entertainment inspired by the era.

The market will open on Friday at 6:00 PM with parades and children's activities. On Saturday, at 5:30 PM, the tribute to the Rejón Brothers, Julián and Leandro Rejón, local heroes of the War of Independence, will begin. The historical reenactment will feature Nicomedes Soto Garrote and Pedro Díaz Vicenti, residents who actively participated in the events of May 2, 1808, and were subsequently arrested and executed.

The tribute ceremony for the Rejón Brothers will commence at Plaza de San Nicasio and proceed through several streets of the municipality, concluding at the Plaza Mayor. Later, around 7:00 PM, the Fiesta de las Mayas will begin in the Plaza Mayor, where the Regional Houses will display elaborately decorated altars, accompanied by traditional music and dance performances, with young girls dressed as symbols of spring.
