Festivities and cultural events have been held across the Spanish regions of Salamanca and Valladolid. Major performances in Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor included musical acts such as Gente de Zona, La La Love You, and a specialized concert featuring organ, bagpipes, and drums at the Salamanca New Cathedral. In Valladolid, Ronnie Wood performed at the Plaza Mayor during the Feria y Fiestas de la Virgen de San Lorenzo.

Following these larger regional events, local neighborhoods within Salamanca, including Oeste, Huerta Otea, and Garrido, held community-focused celebrations featuring art, gastronomy, music, and themed competitions. 

In the La Vega neighborhood of Salamanca, the Municipal Fair of Associations was held to promote traditional folklore and local community associations. Organized by the El Tormes Neighborhood Association with support from the Salamanca City Council and the El Concejo del Tormes Neighborhood Association, the event sought to connect citizens with local cultural collectives. A central feature was the Danzarillo del Tormes cultural project, which offered traditional rhythms through workshops and concerts. Performances included groups such as Folk on Crest and Perfusión Afrogalega, alongside a participatory percussion workshop led by musician Álvaro Menéndez.
