Festivities are of great religious and popular importance and happen in the Plaza de San Pedro Apóstol the last two weekends of August. The streets are filled with music and fun. The first Saturday of the festivities begins with the great Magicians' Ball, a recent but no less significant celebration. The chasneros and channeras wear their traditional dress and prepare traditional Canarian dishes spending the night where sharing and Canarian identity are central to the event. The following Friday, the popular and religious shows begin in honour of San Agustín and San Roque. On Saturday, at the traditional Craft Fair, there are products created by local craftsmen.

The Romero is held on Sunday, making a tour through the streets of Vilaflor. Dressed in typical costumes, the chasneros and channeras enjoy Canarian music, and decorated floats fill the streets where typical dishes and wines from the harvest can be tasted.

Families find space in the Hermitage of San Roque's surroundings to share food, hoping this traditional happy day will come every year.

It is an event that provokes great interest in Tenerife every year and is a ritual for the young women ready to marry. First, they go to La Palmita, where Santa Barbara is located. Then, near the religious monument, the men come with the baskets to meet the single women who hold large baskets decorated with coloured ribbons on their heads. Inside they carry buns with reeds full of miniature figurines.

Santa Barbara is thanked for the harvest and asked for the next one to be as good and that the town girls will find a good husband.

Once the outing is finished, the baskets are placed on the façade of the Church until the festivities end.

The day ends with a typical large street party.

It is a tribute to equality through culture, music, literature, cinema, and sustainability.

In a very high percentage of festivals worldwide, female artists represent a low percentage of performers, according to various studies carried out in 2017, 2018 and 2019 by the Association of Women and Music.

This first edition will have an all-female line-up. However, future editions will also include the participation of male artists, bands or groups of different musical styles. This first edition includes performances by artists such as Mala Rodríguez, Mon Laferte, Guitarricadelafuente, Silvana Estrada, María José Llergo, Caracoles and Dj Kali.

The parrandas, music of rondallas and carts pulled by oxen will be present again in the streets of Arafo, bringing a tremendous festive atmosphere to the town. At the festival, you can also taste the typical food and wines of the area.

First held in 1975, in 1982, it was awarded the honorary title of "Fiesta of Tourist Interest" by the Secretary of State for Tourism, which is why all participants must wear traditional costumes.

This time, the female DJ duo NERVO, known for tracks like Revolution, You're gonna love again, Hold on or Reason, will be on stage. Artists Leon Cormack, Wes and Red B*tch will also be part of the show.

The Lagoon Party is an event that brings together good music and a great pool party that fills the space with a good atmosphere, animation and many more surprises in all its editions. That is why the public considers it one of the year's major events on the island.

Hence, the town of Tejina goes out of its way to conserve the tradition.

The "Corazones de Tejina" exemplify popular culture mixing festivity with religious fervour and important aspects of high ethnographic and anthropological value. It is celebrated in Tejina - a village located in the northeast of the island of Tenerife, around the 24th of August (on the feast day of San Bartolomé), which proudly raises these beautiful banners every year proclaiming their beauty and exclusivity.

A cross-shaped structure with two wooden hearts, one larger than the other, serves as a base to sew flowers, fruits and flatbread. They are made for the events of the fiestas de San Bartolomé, which are celebrated at the end of August when the three principal areas of the town (El Pico, Calle Arriba and Calle Abajo) carry out the heart they have been embroidering for days.

Then the men carry the hearts to the church square, each weighing up to 900 kilos and 12 meters high, placing them there, where a fun ritual begins in which each one ridicules the other hearts.

In 2004 the International Centre for Heritage Conservation (CICOP) recognised its contribution to regional, national and international culture by awarding it the Canary Islands Special Prize for the Restoration and Conservation of Intangible Heritage.

The origin of this celebration dates back to 1973 when the Puerto de la Cruz Tourist Initiatives Center (Centro de Iniciativas Turisticas Puerto de la Cruz) invited a Bavarian orchestra to give a series of concerts in the town. This event has been repeated annually, highlighting a fascinating cultural exchange between the local population and the German ex-pats based on the northern edge of the Island of Tenerife.

The bars and restaurants of Puerto de la Cruz are essential during this festival with the preparation of different typical German dishes that can be tasted throughout the week.

Thousands of visitors flock to the town of Garachico to take part in one of the most authentic fiestas on the island of Tenerife. Music enlivens the pilgrimage through the streets of the town, which culminates in a beautiful maritime voyage. Early morning, pilgrims arrive at the hermitage of San Roque, and the saint's image is transferred to the Church of Santa Ana in the centre of the town, where a religious ceremony is held at midday.

At 13:00, the famous pilgrimage of San Roque begins. The image is accompanied by music bands, carts, herds, harnessed animals, rondallas and parrandas. At the same time, the fishermen of Garachico carry out the Romería Marítima, with their decorated boats accompanying the saint along the coastline.

This fiesta and pilgrimage date back to the 17th century, when the island suffered a terrible epidemic between 1601 and 1606. The main focus was located in Puerto de Garachico. However, after the sudden disappearance of the disease, the miracle was attributed to San Roque. Since then, every year, on 16th August, a pilgrimage is held in honour of the saint.

Six films will be screened outdoors over six days, between the 16th and 21st of August. The films will be shown in Spanish. Access to all the films is free of charge.
