Schedule — Medusa Winter Blizzard 2026
Times
10pm – 6am
One night only, from Saturday 5 to Sunday 6 December, in Hall 8. Over-18s only.
IFEMA is a huge exhibition ground and the exit is at 6am
- IFEMA has several car parks spread around the grounds: it's worth knowing which one to head for before you arrive
- The car parks' published hours don't cover the early morning and, at weekends, they only open when there's activity
- At 6am thousands of people leave at once and getting out of the venue slows down
- After an eight-hour session, driving back to Toledo, Guadalajara or Segovia alone isn't the best idea
Where to park for Medusa Winter Blizzard
Here's what IFEMA publishes about its car parks (Medusa hasn't released parking information for this night yet):
IFEMA Madrid car parks (exhibition grounds)
oficialIFEMA has paid car parks at the exhibition grounds, reached from the South, North and East Entrances, with per-minute or prepaid day rates. Published hours are 7am to 10pm on weekdays and, at weekends and on public holidays, only on days with activity at the venue. There's no official information on whether they'll stay open until 6am for Medusa Winter: check with the organisers before you go.

calleThe alternative is street parking nearby. Follow the signage and regulated-parking rules, and remember you'll be leaving in a hurry and in the dark: park somewhere easy to find and agreed with your group.
Share the ride with VIB3S: one car with four people is one parking space instead of four.
Fewer cars, shorter exit queue: carpool
If four of you travel in one car, you take up a single space, split fuel and parking four ways and the 6am ride home is agreed before you go in. And whoever drives can plan to rest or take turns.
