If there's one event that's truly carved out a special place on Tenerife's calendar, it's the Boreal Festival in Los Silos. And honestly, with the 2026 edition, they've absolutely nailed it once again! Forget your run-of-the-mill festivals; this is an event that goes beyond just music, blending culture with a genuine commitment to sustainability and inclusion. It's the perfect plan for September if you're looking for something different – something that will enrich you and, at the same time, let you explore the island's beautiful north.

For several days, Los Silos transforms into a hub of activity with something for everyone: from thought-provoking talks to concerts that'll get you dancing, plus activities for the little ones and routes to stretch your legs. The beauty of Boreal is that it truly thinks of everyone, and that’s evident in every detail of its programme. Here are five must-dos so you don't miss a thing:

Meaningful Conversations: Sustainable Dialogues and Thought

Boreal has always been a space for reflection, and 2026 is no exception. The Sustainable Dialogues and Thought sessions are a golden opportunity to listen and debate topics that hit close to home: how to care for our island, what we can do to be more environmentally friendly, or how to build a fairer society.

It's an essential gathering in a municipality that's a true benchmark for these issues in the Canary Islands. If you're concerned about the future, you'll find ideas and people eager to make a difference here.
