Cultural festivals have taken place across various Spanish locations. In Tapia de Casariego, the Festival Intercéltico d'Occidente featured a tribute to sailors, while Gijón hosted the conclusion of the Festival Internacional de Gaitas de Gijón.

Following these events, Gijón also hosted a musical marathon as part of the International Piano Festival. Held at the Kiosco de la Música in Paseo de Begoña, the event brought Baroque, classical, and romantic pieces to an open-air street setting. Musicians, including pianist Dana Peláez, noted the challenges of performing amidst urban noise compared to traditional auditoriums, while attendees described the performances as a unique privilege for the city.
