What is known about the Corralejo kite festival?
The official website corralejokitefest.com promises a colourful celebration at the Grandes Playas of Fuerteventura. “Del 9 al 15 de noviembre, las Grandes Playas de Fuerteventura se llenarán de color y magia”, it says.
The website and the council disagree on the count: the website refers to a 38th edition of the Festival Internacional de Cometas de Corralejo. A La Oliva council entry from 15 October 2026 speaks of the 37th edition, presented at the World Travel Market.
Which dates apply for 2026?
The 39th edition is officially announced for 9 to 15 November 2026. The festival website mentions 9 to 15 November in one excerpt, while another excerpt refers to 11 to 17 November.
La Provincia only confirms the end of the 2025 edition on 16 November 2025. Nothing can be inferred from this for 2026.
What is known about the Halloween party in La Oliva?
The event “Halloween x 669 – Halloween Party” in La Oliva on 31 October 2026 is not confirmed, according to laoliva.es.
Times, venue, ticket prices and age limits have not been published by anyone. Whether residents or visitors will notice anything is not documented.
What does this mean for holidaymakers and residents?
Anyone travelling to Corralejo or La Oliva should not rely on unconfirmed dates. The council and the festival website even contradict each other on the edition number.
Check the website corralejokitefest.com and the La Oliva council events calendar before you travel. You can reach the council via the Cabildo de Fuerteventura's general contact number, 928 862 300.
What alternatives are there in La Oliva?
Lajares de Tapeo 2026 takes place on 6 and 7 November at the Plaza Pública de Los Lajares in La Oliva, according to laoliva.es.
The fourth edition of the Dany Sport Marathon is planned for 12 December in Corralejo, according to laoliva.es. The route runs through the Grandes Playas and the dune nature park.
What remains open?
La Oliva council has so far not published any notices about the kite festival in the BOC or BOE, according to sede.cabildofuer.es.
The contradictory edition number must be clarified directly by the Ayuntamiento de La Oliva or the official event page. Only then can reliable travel advice be given.
