What is the Noche de Finados?
The Noche de Finados is the traditional remembrance of the dead around All Saints. In the Canary Islands it is also called Noche de los Difuntos or simply Finaos.
The checked entry on the La Gomera tourism portal places the event in Valle Gran Rey in the culture category. It does not, however, name a specific programme for the town.
What do visitors know about how it will run?
Nobody has yet published programme items, artists or details of how the Noche de Finados in Valle Gran Rey will run. How long the event will last is also not fixed.
The entry confirms only the date of 1 November 2026. The wider calendar lists events from 29 October to 7 November 2026.
How much does it cost to attend?
The available entry gives no price. It also does not say whether admission is free.
Anyone planning to travel should first check whether the Ayuntamiento de Valle Gran Rey or an official event announcement has since published details.
How do you get there and what should you bear in mind?
The entry gives no specific information on traffic, parking, access or accessibility. There are also no notes on booking or capacity.
The tourism calendar on the La Gomera tourism portal was updated on 29 October 2026. Further details could therefore still follow.
What tradition lies behind it?
The Finados are celebrated in the Canary Islands on the night of 31 October, the vigil of Todos los Santos. The roots of the tradition lie in family and community and are older than the popularisation of Halloween.
What remains open?
Above all, the start time, exact venue, full programme, admission conditions and practical visitor information remain open. That would require later confirmation by the Ayuntamiento de Valle Gran Rey.
For Valle Gran Rey, 7 January and 24 June are approved as local public holidays in 2026. The Noche de Finados is not a local public holiday.
