Holy Week is just around the corner and the same questions appear every year: when does Holy Week take place, what weather should we expect, and what plans can we organise with the family?
Museo Iluziona has prepared a simple guide with the key information you need to enjoy Holy Week 2026 combining culture, tradition and family activities.
Holy Week is a Christian celebration that takes place after Lent and commemorates the final moments of Jesus Christ: his passion, death and resurrection.
Unlike other celebrations, Holy Week does not have fixed dates. It takes place on the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.
According to AEMET forecasts, there is a high probability of rain on Palm Sunday.
In Valencia, the start of the week is expected to bring cooler temperatures and unstable weather conditions, although heavy rainfall is not expected.
In Toledo, there is a moderate risk of showers during the first days of the week, with improving weather conditions from Thursday onwards.
Holy Week holidays combined with uncertain weather can make it difficult to plan activities for children.
This year school holidays will run from April 2 to April 13 in Valencia and from March 30 to April 6 in Toledo.
A great cultural alternative for families is visiting Museo Iluziona in Valencia or Toledo, an interactive space where visitors can discover local history and legends through immersive experiences including virtual reality.
