What's on
The festivals of both municipalities, ordered by what comes next. The dates are not typed in by hand: they are computed, so this page does not go stale.
01The next twelve months
NOV
Icod de los Vinos
Icod's best-known festival and one of the strangest in the Canaries: on 29 and 30 November, young people hurtle down the cobbled streets of the old town riding greased wooden boards. On the night of the 28th the new wine is uncorked on Plaza de Lorenzo Cáceres, and that is why the two coincide: San Andrés marks the opening of the harvest.

FEB

JUN
Garachico
24 June is a local public holiday in Garachico, per the Canary Islands official gazette. We have not verified what events it involves, so it appears here only as a holiday.

A craft fair with more than forty editions behind it. It falls very reliably on the first weekend of July, Friday to Sunday, but the exact days are set by the council each year.
The exact day is set by the council each year and has not been published yet. We only give the month.

SEP

Icod de los Vinos
Icod's September festival in the old town. It has no fixed date: the council calls it in the second half of the month. In 2024 it ran from 20 to 30 September.

OCT
day not set
Icod de los Vinos
The pilgrimage of La Vega, with decorated ox carts and wine vats. Held in October; we have a confirmed date for only one year, so it appears here without a day.

No dates for that municipality in the next twelve months.
One of them does not fit in twelve months because it is held only once every five years.
AUG
day not set
Garachico
Held only once every five years, in years ending in 0 and 5, commemorating the 1706 eruption that buried the port. The last was on 2 and 3 August 2025; the 2020 edition was cancelled by the pandemic. The next is expected in 2030, but the date is set by the council and has not been announced.

Fixed dates and the ones that depend on Easter — Carnival and Corpus — are computed, not typed: this page always shows the next time they happen, with nobody updating it. The rest are festivals whose programme the council sets each year, and for those we publish the month and say the day is unconfirmed.
We would have liked to plug this into the councils' own agendas, but there is nothing to plug into: Icod has an events section on its site that is empty, Garachico has a working calendar feed with nothing loaded since 2020, and the island council's agenda offers no machine-readable format. The day any of them publishes, this hooks straight in.
If you come for San Andrés or Corpus, the house is five minutes from the old town.
