About this event

Madrid Esencia Festival is the annual reunion of the Grupo Esencia community, led by Marco & Sara, and is held at the Hotel Occidental Aranjuez just south of Madrid. The official site frames it as the home of all the Esencia groups, a weekend gathering that brings national and international artists together for premium workshops, stage shows and nightly social parties, all in one hotel venue. The 2026 edition runs from 16 to 18 October 2026 with a salsa and bachata program plus the Esencia World Social Competition, a Jack and Jill that acts as a qualifier for the Bachata Social World Cup. Tickets are sold through the official site, which links full passes for the three-day congress.
