Tazacorte Summer Fest 2026: the big end-of-summer party on La Palma
Tazacorte, on the western side of La Palma, is throwing the island's big end-of-summer party. The Tazacorte Summer Fest returns for its fourth edition on Saturday 29 August 2026, turning the Paseo Marítimo del Puerto de Tazacorte into a ten-hour, open-air stage from 18:00 to 04:00 — with free entry.

According to LaPalmaAhora (eldiario/Canarias Ahora), it is billed as the "gran cierre del verano", the grand finale of the summer on the Isla Bonita. Live music, DJ sets and a new verbena spirit promise a long, joyful night by the sea.
What, when, where — and how much
The Tazacorte Summer Fest reaches its fourth edition in 2026. The date is Saturday 29 August 2026, and the setting is the Paseo Marítimo del Puerto de Tazacorte on the west coast of La Palma. The party runs from 18:00 to 04:00, and entry is free ("acceso gratuito"). That is ten hours of music right by the sea, with no ticket required — an easy plan for anyone who wants to send the summer off in style at the port of Tazacorte.
The grand finale of the summer on La Palma
The festival is billed by LaPalmaAhora as the "gran cierre del verano" — the big closing party of the summer on La Palma. Ten hours from dusk to the early morning give the season a lively, communal send-off. The port of Tazacorte, with its long beach and seafront promenade, makes the perfect backdrop: relaxed, summery and facing the Atlantic. It is the kind of night out that brings locals and visitors together.
The music: Orquesta Sonora 28 and DJ sets
Live music comes from Orquesta Sonora 28, highlighted by the "potentes voces cubanas" — the powerful Cuban voices of Kiko Ruiz and Claritzel Miyares. DJ sets keep the night going through to 04:00. The source does not list the DJs' names in full, so it is worth checking the official programme before you go. What is clear is that salsa, dancing and long grooves are set to take centre stage on the seafront.
New for 2026: the "La Verbena del Perro" spirit
For the first time, the 2026 edition takes on the festive spirit of "La Verbena del Perro", in collaboration with Cerveza Tropical. LaPalmaAhora refers to the spirit — the mood — of this verbena, rather than a separate, fully detailed line-up under that name. The source does not attach specific artist names to it. The collaboration is meant to add extra verbena flair and a warm, popular touch to the evening.
Practical tips for visitors
Entry is free, so anyone can drop by on the night. The festival takes place on the seafront promenade of the port of Tazacorte, easily reached on the western side of La Palma. Because the party stretches across ten hours, from 18:00 to 04:00, it pays to plan the evening at a relaxed pace — comfortable clothes, something to eat, and arriving in good time all help. For the running order and any further line-up details, check the official programme.
Ten hours from 18:00 to 04:00: if you plan to stay the whole night, sort out your travel and dinner in advance.
The "La Verbena del Perro" element is a concept in collaboration with Cerveza Tropical, not a separately detailed roster. Check the official programme before you go.
