Oiartzun town hosts month‑long summer festivals in August 2026
Oiartzun will stage a series of festivals from August 2 to 6, 2026, turning the town’s streets into gathering places for residents and visitors. The programme includes a range of cultural and sport events such as children’s football finals, concerts, a traditional fire‑lighting ceremony by Urmendi Municipal School, and a fireworks display (txupinazo).
Additional activities feature a book launch, poster‑competition awards, a tribute concert by Ainara Ortega in honor of Lurdes Iriondo, and a five‑day "xanisteban" with dance, music, local food and traditional games. Football finals for clean, pasaka and arena divisions are scheduled for August 1, followed by evening DJ sets and performances in town squares.
