When and where is the fair in Costa Adeje?
The Feria Insular de Artesanía runs from Friday 13 November to Sunday 15 November 2026 on the Avenida Rafael Puig Lluvina in Costa Adeje. It opens on all three days from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 15:30 to 20:00.
The opening was set for 10:00 on Friday, with the official visit at 12:00. The first day ends at 20:00, like the two that follow, so anyone arriving on opening day has until the evening.
The Cabildo de Tenerife organises the fair through its Empresa Insular de Artesanía, the island crafts company. The Ayuntamiento de Adeje (the town council) supports it.
The published documents do not say whether visitors pay to get in. The Empresa Insular de Artesanía answers questions on (+34) 922 334 013 or by email at info@artenerife.com.
What can visitors buy there?
Thirty exhibitors offer goods from 21 craft trades, according to the Cabildo de Tenerife. The list includes ceramics, jewellery, soaps, felt, leather goods and dolls.
Miniatures, pyrography (burnt-wood art) and glasswork join them. Traditional trades are also on show, such as instrument making, pottery, traditional joinery and hand-rolled cigars.
The organiser says every participant brings their own production. Only craftspeople holding the Cabildo's card (carné de artesano) may exhibit, not general market traders.
The fair has 31 tents of nine square metres each, and 30 belong to the craftspeople. The Empresa Insular de Artesanía runs the 31st tent itself, where visitors can get information.
The organiser gave no prices for individual goods. Anyone looking for souvenirs can compare pieces at the stalls and pay there by card.
Why is the fair in the middle of a tourist resort?
The organiser wants to make it easier for craftspeople to sell in one of Tenerife's main tourist areas. According to the announcement, the fair brings local production to residents and visitors at the same time.
Efraín Medina, the island councillor for employment, education and youth, says the southern location also reaches tourists. They can get to know and buy products that show both traditional and contemporary crafts.
Adolfo Alonso is Adeje's councillor for culture, education and citizen participation. He says craftspeople value the site most because it brings them a large audience and chances to sell.
The 30 exhibitors were picked through a public call, in which professionalism counted. Craftspeople could apply from 4 to 22 May 2026.
Applicants had to offer their own production with a sales value of at least 1,500 euros per event. A valid Cabildo craftsperson's card was a condition.
How does this edition differ from last year's?
The 14th edition ran from 21 to 23 November 2025 on the same avenue. It also had 30 craftspeople, 31 tents of nine square metres and the same opening hours.
The number of trades rises from 19 in 2025 to 21 in 2026. The fair stays the same size and falls one week earlier in the calendar.
There are no visitor or sales figures for earlier editions in Adeje. The organiser has not published a budget for 2026 either.
Do not confuse this fair with the larger Feria Tricontinental de Artesanía. Its eighth edition ended on 2 November 2026 at the Recinto Ferial de Tenerife (the island exhibition grounds), with Mexico as guest country, and the next follows in 2028 with Puerto Rico.
What is still unclear, and what happens next?
The organisers have not published a supporting programme of workshops, demonstrations or music. Advice on getting there and on parking is also missing.
It is not confirmed whether the Avenida Rafael Puig Lluvina is closed to traffic. None of the sources consulted reports closed roads or diversions.
The fair closes on Sunday 15 November 2026 at 20:00. The Cabildo runs a network of further crafts fairs on the island, with dates planned for December and January.
