Canary Islands Fiestas Spain and the Canary Islands are famous for there festivals (fiestas)! Throughout the year the Canaries have many carnivals and fiestas, below I have listed a few of the more popular ones and that happen over all of the islands! Plus added links for moe details on seperate island fiestas! Many fiestas, festivals and carnivals are held in the in or close to the main resorts and towns of the islands, so if you are on holiday in the Canary Islands whilst a fiesta is taking place, the you should go along and have a look and for the more daring participate, which can do by taking part in the fancy dress and partying alongside it all - it is a brilliant day and night out, with which most do party well into the early hours and some don't even stop for two days - so be prepared! Main Festivals On January 6th is the Dia de los Reyes - Three Holy Kings Day, The Three Holy Kings are celebrated all over the Canary Islands and the rest of Spain. The eve of Epiphany is marked by a street parade, during which the Three Wise Men distribute Christmas gifts to the children of the towns. Carnival is celebrated at the beginning of Lent and begins with a parade on carnival eve in all islands. It’s usually a four day event, with concerts, all night dancing and the procession of floats along the seafront.  This is the Canary Islands most popular festival that time of year, with the longest tradition and is celebrated all over all the islands in the Archipelago of the Canaries. Apart from the inhabitants from each of the islands, thousands of tourists are attracted by the fun and colours of the carnival celebrations too. Much of the spectacle of the carnival revolves around the Carnival Queen, who is elected in a grand gala that is held on a night that is considered one of the high points of the carnival. The funfairs are great for the kids but they do not normally get going until about 7pm. After the parade which tends to end at a open air party that has bands and musical tributes, the fun fair also tends to be here and all the bars and restaurants normally have a stall down in this area too! This party doesn't normally get going until midnight and keeps going generally until the very early hours, literally 6-8am, so I would advise if you are thinking of partying hard with the locals then to join them in their tradition of a siesta! San Juan - 23 June This fiesta marks the beginning of summer and bonfires are lit in celebration. Our Lady of Carmen - August 1-11th The patron saint of fishermen. In the ports there is a maritime procession of fishing boats. There are many more fiestas that happen during the year throughout the islands, If you are lucky enough to be on holiday when one is taking place then I would highly recommend going along to watch and participate!
