Things to do in Marbella in November 2026: events and plans
Marbella in November 2026: the Tostón chestnut festival, Dalí at the Print Museum, shows at the Congress Centre and dinner in Puerto Banús.
November is one of the most pleasant months to discover Marbella: fewer crowds, golden afternoon light and a busy cultural calendar. Here are the plans with dates confirmed by the Town Hall and the Marbella Congress Centre, plus a few ideas to round off the day.
31 October and 1 November: Halloween and Tostón
The month starts the night before: on Saturday 31 October, Halloween Marbella fills the Paseo de la Alameda with activities from 6 pm to midnight. The next day, Sunday 1 November, the traditional Tostón chestnut festival takes place in Parque de Nagüeles from 12:30 pm, with children's entertainment, music and free roasted chestnuts from 4 to 6 pm.
Dalí in the Old Town (until 15 November)
The Museum of Contemporary Spanish Prints, in the former Hospital Bazán, is showing Ten Recipes for Immortality, the book-object Salvador Dalí called his favourite: thirteen prints inside a briefcase with a telephone-shaped handle and locks that look like fried eggs. It opens Mondays and Saturdays 11 am to 2 pm and Tuesday to Friday 11 am to 6 pm, with a single €5 ticket. Pair it with a stroll around Plaza de los Naranjos.
Shows at the Congress Centre
The Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Marbella has a varied line-up this month:
- 7 November: Manolo Morera, Spanish stand-up comedy.
- 8 November: Dancing Machine, a Michael Jackson tribute.
- 15 November: Kino Symphony Tribute, a symphonic show.
- 18 November: Frozen 1&2, a family circus musical on ice.
- 21–22 November: Dreaming Dance World Cup national final.
- 28 November: "Bella y Bestia, más allá del cuento", a Beauty and the Beast musical.
Check tickets and any changes on the Congress Centre's official website before you go.
More exhibitions and nature
Marbella's tourism agenda also lists Jorge Hernández's exhibition "El instante suspendido" (until 30 November) and Joël Mestre's show (until 20 November). If you prefer the outdoors, the town's 2026/2027 nature outings programme started on 25 October and runs until May. And the sea is still there: here's why November is still beach season.
End the day in Puerto Banús
After a show or a morning at the museum, Puerto Banús is a great finale: a walk past the yachts and boutiques, then dinner by the water. Here are ideas for a full day in the port.
