Who organises the Fiestas de Octubre?

The Fiestas de Octubre 2026 are presented by the Ayuntamiento de San Sebastián de La Gomera (municipal council) with support from the Cabildo Insular (island government). They are held in honour of the Virgen de Guadalupe, the patron saint of La Gomera.

Mayor Angélica Padilla said, according to gomeratoday.com, that the Fiestas de Octubre would strengthen the bonds that unite and consolidate society. The councillor responsible for fiestas, Aday Herrera, stressed that particular emphasis had been placed on a varied programme for all target groups and age ranges.
