The Gaiás Centre Museum opens its doors at night on the occasion of International Museum Day and proposes a series of special visits to experience it as a welcoming, contemporary space full of possibilities. Throughout two days, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May, you will be able to inhabit the museum enjoying live music and a pincho to accompany the dance, immerse yourself in immersive and interactive experiences and also discover how the great exhibition space of the Cidade da Cultura works inside.
All activities are free and designed for all audiences. Check the timetables, information and make your reservation for the special visits on this website.
This year, International Museum Day is entitled The Future of Museums in Changing Communities, and celebrates how these cultural centres are shaping a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable future.

The neighbourhood of Vistalegre celebrates its traditional festival of San Xoán from June 21st to 23rd.
June 23rd, the summer solstice, is the magical eve of “San Juan” (St. John’s Day), an ancient fiesta that is present in all cultures, marking the beginning of the summer, the time of greatest sunlight, the longest day in the year.
The members of the Cultural Association Cidade Vella have prepared various activities in several squares of Compostela’s Old Town to celebrate the most magical night of the year. There will be music, sardiñadas (grilled sardines), snacks, quitameigallos (ritual bonfires), dance groups, foliadas (traditional music gatherings), DJs and, above all, lots of partying.
Five days of music, dance, theatre, big-heads, reading, storytelling, science and much more in one of Santiago's most unique neighbourhoods.
