The fiesta stalls open at 19:00 on Friday and Saturday, and from 11:00 on Sunday. The dances on Friday and Saturday each start at 23:00 on Plaza El Madrigal.
The source expressly points out that the programme order may change. Apart from Plaza El Madrigal, other locations are only named for Saturday's procession.

How much does it cost and how do you get there?
The published agenda of the Ayuntamiento de Arona does not mention entry prices, ticket requirements or reservations. Age restrictions are also not stated.
The municipality of Arona has not published travel information, parking arrangements or official road closures in the checked event listing. Visitors should therefore allow time to find parking.
The only published restriction is that the programme order may change. Further deadlines or registration procedures remain open.
What financial rules apply to the fiesta?
The municipality of Arona has set aside a subsidy of up to 14,000 euros for the Fiesta de Santa Teresa de Jesús y San Jerónimo de Guaza. This is set out in the municipal funding rules.
Payment is made as 70 percent in advance and 30 percent after full justification. Receipts and bank proof must generally be submitted within three months after the celebration.
This sum is the intended maximum amount, not a confirmation of the funds actually spent. The fiesta committee must be registered in the Registro de Asociaciones of the Ayuntamiento de Arona.
What should be noted about the dates?
The official agenda of the Ayuntamiento de Arona names 23 to 25 October 2026 as the fiesta days. The official municipal website mentions the period 26 September to 30 October, but no reliable official source was found for the calendar period 12 to 15 October.
For visitors this means: the daily programme of the Guaza 2026 fiesta committee applies to the weekend of 23 to 25 October. Before visiting, it is worth checking the municipal agenda, as changes are expressly possible.
