All events in February 2027 — Canary Islands

What defines the month

February in the Canary Islands is shaped by carnival season and local patron saint fiestas. Gran Canaria holds the most events, including the Gáldar Carnival and the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival, while Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote each contribute one event to the month.

The month opens with the final day of the World’s Toughest Row in San Sebastián de La Gomera and with the Fiestas de la Candelaria in Tuineje, Fuerteventura. Later in February, attention shifts to the Drag Queen Gala and Great Carnival Parade in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and the Coso Apoteósico in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
