Fiestas del Carmen 2026 in Garachico

The traditional Fiestas del Carmen in Garachico pay tribute to the Virgen del Carmen with an extensive programme of activities running from 4 to 19 July 2026. This annual event is one of the most prominent dates in North Tenerife's festive calendar, offering a complete immersion in local customs and devotion.

During these two weeks, the municipality of Garachico comes alive with offerings for all ages, including:

• Children's and family activities for the little ones.
• Liturgical acts in honour of the patron saint of sailors.
• The moving boat procession of the virgin, a highlight of the festivities.
• Celebrations of deeply rooted traditions.
• Popular sardinada (sardine feast), a classic of maritime festivals.
• Lively parrandas (traditional music groups), dances, and verbenas (open-air evening parties) to fill Garachico's nights with fun.

It's a perfect plan to experience the essence of Canarian festivals, with free access to most events. Garachico feels different during these Fiestas del Carmen: let yourself be carried away by the tradition and festive atmosphere from 04/07 to 19/07.
