Once again, tickets for the Brihuega Lavender Festival are on sale. This year, 2026, also carries a weighty reason to celebrate this nature festival that is so special: its tenth anniversary. For a decade, the festival has drawn thousands of visitors attracted by a unique experience—the combination of live music, gastronomy, and landscape set in the incomparable surroundings of the blooming lavender fields.
What does this celebration hold for visitors? Well, certainly many surprises. For now, we can confirm the event dates. This edition will take place over two weekends, as has become customary. July 10-11 and July 17-18, respectively. Where? As always in the municipality of Brihuega, in the province of Guadalajara, just two hours from Madrid.
The Lavender Festival has been recognized with the award ‘BEST VENUE of the Iberian Peninsula’ at the Iberian Awards, an accolade that honors the most outstanding spaces and events in Spain and Portugal. This recognition highlights the festival’s uniqueness and the one-of-a-kind experience it offers every summer among the lavender fields in bloom. “A prize we share with all the artists, collaborators, and attendees who make it possible that, year after year, this place becomes one of the Peninsula’s most special stages,” say the organizers. Regarding the artists, we already know what the lineup for this year will be. And, we suppose, you want to know it…
For the 10th anniversary they will feature Sidecars on Friday, July 10 and Luz Casal on Saturday, July 11. The group Taburete will perform on Friday, July 17 and Duncan Dhu on July 18.

Brihuega, a Lavender Garden
Summer in Brihuega is one of the year’s most eagerly anticipated moments because nature unleashes all its magic over the fields of this town in Guadalajara, in a spectacle of color and scents like no other. The festival coincides with the harvest season of this aromatic plant.
Millions of flowers are harvested to then be passed through the still and their essence extracted for perfumes and other products. This process, the result of more than 75 years of experience and know-how, represents a year of care and devotion dedicated to the land and its crops. With around 1,000 hectares of plantations, this municipality, which in 2023 had a population of 2,732 inhabitants, has become one of the largest lavender producers in the world.
