Ourense confirms magosto festival plans despite rain forecast

The Ourense City Council has confirmed that the Magosto 2026 will take place as planned on Wednesday, 11 November. This traditional gastronomic event will be held in the Plaza Mayor and Alameda, featuring the Folk San Martiño festival and a performance by the orchestra Los Satélites.

In anticipation of rain, the council will increase the number of tents to ensure that attendees can enjoy the culinary delights and musical performances comfortably. Covered structures will be set up in the Plaza Mayor, Santa Eufemia, along the Calle del Progreso (near the Alameda), Calle del Obispo Cesáreo, and Avenida de Pontevedra, in addition to the usual tents for the bar and chestnut distribution.

The festival, which has been declared of Tourist Interest, is organised by the City Council in collaboration with the Xunta de Galicia and ABANCA. The only change from the original announcement is the absence of roasted pig, while all other offerings will remain unchanged.
