La Noche en Blanco de Málaga

Each year, Malaga hosts over 200 diverse events as part of its annual Noche en Blanco (Nuit Blanche or White Night) celebration.
This vibrant occasion, which is replicated all around the world, grants free access to an array of cultural gems such as museums, art galleries, concerts and theatres.
Throughout the city centre, which is turned into a de facto art gallery, cultural institutions, which are normally closed in the evenings, throw open their doors to eager crowds who form long queues outside.
Popular venues
Among the bustling venues, the Centre Pompidou and the Museo Thyssen galleries stand out as perennial favourites, drawing crowds with their captivating exhibitions.
Additionally, Muelle Uno, the ‘Rectorado’ building of the University of Malaga, and the English Cemetery offer a diverse range of activities tailored for people of all ages.
Live music in the open-air
For live music aficionados, the city offers numerous open-air concerts and other performances at various locations, including Plaza de la Constitución, Plaza del Obispo and the cathedral‘s side entrance.
The outdoor Auditorio Eduardo Ocón, in the Paseo del Parque, also hosts competitions and music battles that captivate audiences.
