31 Aug — 6 Sept 2026

Summer may be winding down, but Tenerife is turning up the heat this week. The island's beloved Pinolere Craft Fair returns for its 41st edition, motorsport fans get their adrenaline fix with the Rallye Orvecame, and a string of open-air tardeos and fiestas remind us that the Canarian calendar never really slows down. Whether you're into artisan traditions, live theatre, or lacing up your trail runners, this week has something for everyone. HIGHLIGHTS 41st Feria Pinolere — Pinolere (Sep 4–6) This is the big one. The Pinolere Craft Fair is one of Tenerife's most treasured cultural events, celebrating traditional Canarian craftsmanship in the stunning ethnographic park high above La Orotava. Expect live demonstrations of basket-weaving, pottery, woodwork, and more, plus local food stalls and folk music. The fair opens on Friday, with dedicated citizens' visits on Saturday — plan to spend a full morning soaking it all in. MAPPA by GreenWorld — Anfiteatro de Siam Park (Sep 5, from 39€) Saturday night goes big with MAPPA, an electronic music event set in the dramatic amphitheatre at Siam Park. GreenWorld brings a curated lineup and an atmosphere that's hard to beat — think sunset vibes, world-class sound, and a crowd ready to dance under the stars. Grab tickets early; this one sells out. Antonia San Juan – "La Ropa Vieja de Cuca" — Auditorio de Adeje (Sep 4, 12€) One of Spain's most iconic actresses and comedians brings her latest show to Adeje. Known internationally for her role in Almodóvar's "Todo sobre mi madre," Antonia San Juan delivers razor-sharp humour and theatrical brilliance. At just 12€, this is an absolute steal for a night out. Rallye Orvecame Isla de Tenerife — Santa Cruz (Sep 4–5) Petrolheads, rejoice. The Rallye Orvecame tears through Tenerife's mountain roads this weekend, with stages showcasing the island's dramatic terrain. Find a safe spectator point along the route and feel the ground shake as rally cars blast through tight curves — it's a uniquely thrilling Tenerife experience. K21 Laurisilva Tacoronte (Sep 6) Close the week with a 21-kilometre trail race through the ancient laurel forests above Tacoronte. Even if you're not running, the atmosphere at the start line and finish area is electric, and the route offers a glimpse of some of the island's most beautiful hidden landscapes. QUICK PICKS Un Tardeo Tonto hits both La Baranda Masái (Sep 3) and the picturesque Plaza del Príncipe in El Sauzal (Sep 5) — daytime parties with DJs, drinks, and pure Canarian good vibes. Petite Lorena brings her show "Tremenda" to the elegant Teatro Leal in La Laguna (Sep 2, 20€). Kids and families can enjoy Children's Anthologies at Librería El Refugio in a cosy storytelling session (Sep 4). The Boncho Tour 2026 rolls into La Laguna's Geneto neighbourhood (Sep 4) for another round of street-food and music fun. And if you're looking for something active and family-friendly, the Walking for Life hike through Parque Rural de Teno includes a beekeeping workshop (Sep 5). Don't miss the 1st Teguestera Cycling Day (Sep 6) for a community ride through Tegueste, or the Southwest Charity Race (Sep 6) in Santa María del Mar. Ongoing exhibitions worth a visit include the striking LEGADO 2026 photography show at Domes Baobab Suites and the Candelaria urban art outdoor exhibition along Rambla Los Menceyes — both free. That's your week on the island — packed, vibrant, and wonderfully varied. Head over to our interactive map to pin your favourites, plan your route, and make sure you don't miss a thing. See you out there!
