3 Aug — 9 Aug 2026

Welcome to the first full week of August in Tenerife, and the island is firing on all cylinders. Fiesta season is in full swing across multiple towns, the summer music programme continues under the stars, and there's a brilliant mix of sport, culture, and social events to fill every day. Whether you're chasing adrenaline on a mountain trail or sipping gin on a terrace, this week has something for you. HIGHLIGHTS MHT Comedy Drag & Dinner Show (Sunday, August 3rd) Kick off the week with one of Tenerife's most beloved entertainment experiences. The MHT Comedy Drag & Dinner Show combines a full dinner with an outrageously fun drag performance — think sequins, sharp humour, and audience interaction that'll have you crying with laughter. It's a perfect Sunday night out for couples, groups, or solo travellers looking for a memorable evening. Jose AM – Así Sonaba Tardeo Summer Festival (Sunday, August 9th, Quiosco Playa Jardín, €15) Close out the week in style at Puerto de la Cruz's gorgeous beachfront kiosk with Jose AM spinning the soundtrack to summer. The "tardeo" format — essentially a daytime party — is a beloved Spanish tradition, and this open-air session overlooking Playa Jardín is about as good as it gets. Arrive early, grab a cocktail, and dance as the sun dips behind Mount Teide. Subida Vertical Panadero (Saturday, August 8th, Tamaimo) For the athletic and the adventurous, this vertical mountain race in Tamaimo is a thrilling test of endurance set against dramatic volcanic scenery. Even if you're not running, heading to the area to cheer on participants and soak in the rugged landscape of western Tenerife makes for a fantastic day trip. NOIRABA – Afro House Experience with Claudia León (Sunday, August 9th, OA Beach Club, €35) Claudia León brings deep Afro house rhythms to the stylish OA Beach Club for an experience that blends music, movement, and ocean views. This is a premium beach club event — expect beautiful production, a curated crowd, and beats that'll keep you moving well into the evening. QUICK PICKS Efren rocks Hard Rock Cafe on Wednesday. Tuesday Games Afternoon and Karaoke keeps things social at The Market Tavern in Los Cristianos, with the Thursday edition adding a quiz into the mix. The free "Los Cuentos de Sira" Workshop at La Orotava's public library is a lovely family-friendly craft session on Sunday. Sportmanía – Next Level launches in El Rosario on Sunday for active kids (€15), and the free Sports Gymkhana in La Esperanza's Plaza del Adelantado is part of the ongoing Fiestas de La Esperanza. Friday evening brings the enchanting Night of the Stars stargazing experience in Granadilla de Abona — Tenerife's skies in August are extraordinary. For foodies, the Arona Seniors Lunch Trip to Los Realejos on Thursday is a charming way to explore local cuisine. And don't miss the ongoing exhibitions around the island, including "Where the Pelicans Sing" at Espacio Cultural El Tanque and the vibrant street art display along Candelaria's Rambla Los Menceyes. The XVII Cross of Bajamar on Sunday rounds out a sports-packed weekend. My 20's in the City: Tenerife (Saturday, August 8th) offers a wonderful chance for younger expats and travellers to meet new friends over dinner in Costa Adeje — a great antidote to solo-travel loneliness. Meanwhile, Paddle Surf pops up twice this week: a free session at Siam Park on Thursday and another in Granadilla on Friday. All these events and more are pinned on our interactive map at TenerifeEvents.me. Zoom in on your area, filter by category, and plan your perfect week on the island. See you out there! ===END===
