24 Aug — 30 Aug 2026

This is one of those glorious late-August weeks where Tenerife fires on all cylinders — summer fiestas are still in full swing, the trails are calling adventure seekers, and the cultural calendar refuses to slow down. Whether you're chasing live music under the stars, lacing up your running shoes, or raising a glass of something local, there's something magnetic happening in every corner of the island. HIGHLIGHTS Los Sabandeños at Sansofé 2026 — Friday, August 29 | Plaza de El Médano The legendary Canarian folk group Los Sabandeños take the stage in El Médano as part of the beloved Sansofé cultural programme. This is a rare chance to experience one of the archipelago's most iconic musical acts in an intimate open-air plaza setting, with the ocean breeze as your backdrop. Arrive early, grab a spot, and let the timples and harmonies wash over you — it doesn't get more authentically Canarian than this. Trail Las Fuentes — Saturday, August 29 | San Cristóbal de La Laguna Trail runners, this one's for you. The Trail Las Fuentes winds through the lush northern landscapes around La Laguna, offering a challenging and scenic route through laurel forests and misty ridgelines. Even if you're not running, the atmosphere at the start and finish line is electric — a celebration of community and the island's spectacular terrain. Oktoberfest Puerto de la Cruz — From Friday, August 28 | Explanada del Muelle Yes, you read that right — Oktoberfest arrives in Tenerife before it even starts in Munich. Head to the Puerto de la Cruz waterfront for cold steins, bratwurst, and a festive atmosphere that blends Bavarian tradition with Canarian warmth. It's delightfully unexpected and ridiculously fun. Camino de Santiago por la Vida — 4th Edition — Saturday, August 29 | Adeje This inspiring solidarity walk from Adeje brings together locals and visitors for a meaningful cause. Now in its fourth edition, it's part pilgrimage, part community celebration, and entirely heartwarming. A beautiful way to connect with the island's generous spirit.
