If there is one thing Zaragoza cinemas are doing in 2026, it is betting on unique, innovative experiences that encourage film lovers not to miss a single release.

The program will span urban music, rap, pop, indie, punk and urban rock, “without leaving out anything in between.” A new concert venue called “Roze” has arrived in Zaragoza with younger audiences in mind.

The Los Bañales–Rome in Cinco Villas Foundation continues its free activities program this weekend, October 3 and 4, with a program developed in collaboration with the Zaragoza Provincial Council and the Cinco Villas Region to highlight the comarca’s rich Roman heritage.

The life of a teenager passionate about computers, the internet and technology will come to Zaragoza’s Congress Palace this Saturday, October 3, although there is much more behind his story. “Original, el paso de Carlo” turns the life of Saint Carlo Acutis into a musical.

Zaragoza continues to advance preparations for the 200th anniversary of Goya’s death, which is drawing closer and will be one of the major cultural milestones for the city, Aragon and Spain. With the National Commission already established, including representatives from various ministries and Aragonese institutions, the Prado Museum will be one of the anniversary’s key pillars. The museum holds more of Goya’s work than any other institution in Spain, and some of those works will travel to Zaragoza in an “unprecedented and historic” loan, in the words of Zaragoza Mayor Natalia Chueca, who traveled to the capital on Monday to personally thank the museum for its collaboration.
2028 will be Goya’s year, and Zaragoza and Aragon, the painter’s birthplace, are preparing “unprecedented cultural experiences” for the bicentenary of his death. Zaragoza Mayor Natalia Chueca highlighted the major exhibition coming to La Lonja in 2027, featuring works never before shown in the city, and especially the exhibition arriving at the same venue a year later. In 2028, residents of Zaragoza will be able to experience the Prado without leaving the Aragonese capital through the immersive project “The Prado of Goya for the people of Zaragoza.”
Spanish indie music is enjoying a golden moment, as shown by the many festivals held across the country this summer. Zaragoza’s audience proved it once again at FIZ, the 24th Zaragoza Independent Music Festival, which brought 4,000 people to the Auditorium’s Multi-Purpose Hall on Saturday.
Open House Zaragoza combined cinema and architecture this Saturday, with filmmaker Miguel Ángel Lamata among the event’s leading figures.

Some took advantage of the fashion-themed morning to wear a bolder-than-usual look, while others left the risk-taking to the runway.

The countdown has begun. After nearly two years of closure and a complete transformation, the Goya Museum will welcome visitors again on October 9, coinciding with the Pilar Festival. It will be virtually a different museum: larger, opened up toward Pilar Square and with technology as one of its main tools for exploring the life and work of the painter from Fuendetodos.
Model brains, medieval manuscripts, lungs made from balloons and a small wind turbine. Plaza del Pilar became a large open-air laboratory this Saturday for European Researchers’ Night.

David Bisbal is bringing his Tour Eternos to Zaragoza, a tour that will combine his greatest classics with the sound of his new musical chapter. The Aragonese capital will be one of the first stops on the Spanish leg, with the concert scheduled at the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe on June 12, 2027.

After five years of driving FIZ audiences wild with "La revolución sexual" and the even older "Podría ser peor," Guille Milkyway is preparing to return to Zaragoza for another edition of the Zaragoza Independent Music Festival.

For many, it is the film premiere of the year. After going from the Cannes Film Festival to the Oscars and receiving widespread praise, along with some criticism, "The Black Ball" opened in cinemas across Spain this Friday, bringing Lorca, the Spanish Civil War and the poet's unfinished text to the big screen. A walk past Zaragoza's cinemas on Friday afternoon was enough to see which title was the favorite among moviegoers filling the seats.
