All events in October 2026 — Canary Islands

What defines the month

October in the Canary Islands is shaped by the overlap of Halloween celebrations and the traditional Finaos or Finados observances, alongside a broad programme of crafts, sports, music and local fiestas. Tenerife and La Palma have the largest number of listed events, while Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote also host a wide range of activities, from gastronomy and folklore to cinema and theatre.

The final weekend of the month is particularly dense. The 8th Tricontinental Crafts Fair brings more than 200 artisans from Europe, Africa and America to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while Gran Canaria hosts the Frontón King international bodyboard competition in Gáldar and the 15th Regional Fair for Wine, Cheese and Honey in Valsequillo. On La Gomera, the NOON Festival continues its free Saturday concerts in San Sebastián, and on Fuerteventura the Canary Islands lateen sailing championship takes place in Puerto del Rosario.
