SUMMARY:30 May 2025 | Día de Canarias – The Canary Islands’ Day Events 🇮🇨
DESCRIPTION:\n‘Diá de Canarias‘\nCanary Islands Day, 30 MAY is an annual bank holiday throughout the archipelago. It’s good to remember that government offices, banks, and many local shops etc. will be closed.\nOn the 30th of May 1983 The Canary Islands officially became an Autonomous National Region of Spain when The Government of The Canary Islands Parliament sat for the first time.  The day has been marked ever since by all municipal town halls, on all 8 islands, in each of the two provinces that make up the archipelago, as the official day for celebration of all things Canarian.\nYou can expect nearly every town or village to have some sort of public event happening on Thursday, some including Wednesday and previous weekend, with locals dressed in traditional post-conquest clothing and performing folk dances as well as tastings of local produce among other attractions. You might have already seen the shopping centres and shops having loads of Canarian products to sell. \nOf course, as tourism has long been the main focus of the economy here you’ll also find representations of traditional foodstuffs like gofio, potatoes, cheeses, mangoes, avocados, ropa vieja, almonds, wines, rum, honey rum, mojos rojo and verde and many items besides on display in hotels and tourist information centres\n \n\nHERE ARE FEW DIFFERENT FESTIVITIES ON GRAN CANARIA :\n🇮🇨\nLAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA \nThursday, 29 MAY – CANARIONA\nFestival by Cabildo de Gran Canaria at Plaza de Santa Ana\nFrom 18:30-01:00, Free entry\n🔹 18:30-19:30 Inaugural parade with the Banda de Agaete and the colorful Papahuevos.\n🔹 19:30-20:30 Parranda de Teror,, Thania Gil and Julia Rodríguez\n🔹 20:30 -20:40 Baked Belda\n🔹 20:40-21:25 Humour and verse: Darío López and Yeray Rodríguez will make us laugh and move us.\n🔹 21:25 -21:35 Baked Belda\n🔹 Fusion and dance: NIA, Juseph, and Baked Belda will close the night with rhythms that cross borders.\n🔹 Gran Canaria Big Band, and voices like Cristina Ramos and Chago Melián and then some…\n\n \n 🔹30 MAY – XIV Paseo Romero Día de Canarias\nat 12:00 Carts, parrandas, folk groups, and pilgrims will leave from Parque Santa Catalina to Plaza de La Luz\nSaturday 31 May\n21:00 Baile de Taifas at  Plaza de la Puntilla\n\n \nSAN BARTOLOMÉ DE TIRAJANA\n\n🔹 30 MAY – The 9th Umiaya Festival at Plaza de San Fernando at 20:30\nAs has become a tradition, the Plaza de San Fernando will host on Thursday, May 30, on the occasion of Canary Islands Day and the town’s patron saint festivities, the celebration of the IX Umiaya Festival, which in this edition will feature the participation of folkloric groups Umiaya and Vegueros de Tinamar, and the children’s dance group of the Municipal Music School of Mogán.\n🔹 30 May in TUNTE\nPlaza Santiago de Tunte between 09:30-14:00\nArtisan crafts and tastings stalls and performance by parranda Los Chanos\n\n		\n			#gallery-1 {\n				margin: auto;\n			}\n			#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n				float: left;\n				margin-top: 10px;\n				text-align: center;\n				width: 33%;\n			}\n			#gallery-1 img {\n				border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n			}\n			#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n				margin-left: 0;\n			}\n			/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		\n\n \n\n \nSANTA LUCÍA DE TIRAJANA \n\n\n🔹 29-31 May Artisan Craft and Food Fair at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\nLocal artisans and Canarian tapas and enyesques from 10:00 to 22:00\n\nThursday 29 May:\n17:00-20:00 Traditional Canarian Games on the Pedestrian Zone of Avenida de Canarias\nTaifa Dance with the following groups: Parranda la Polvajera, Parranda del Cura and Parranda el Pajullo\nReserve your table at the Tel.: 928 75 97 06 Participate in your traditional Canarian attire and come enjoy a night full of Canarian culture.\nStarting at 20:00 at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n 🔹Friday 30 May:\n10:00-14;00Musical performances and Folklore gathering with groups from Santa Lucía de Tirajana at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n10:00-14:00 & 17:00-20:00 Demonstration of Canarian games and sports on the pedestrian Zone of Avenida de Canarias\nTraditional Gran Canaria club game, shepherd’s jump, stone lifting, and plowing\nat 17:00 Children’s Show: The Songbook of the Dragon and the Cats at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n20:00 Concert by Acatife at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n21:30 Concert by Bejeque at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\nSaturday 31 May:\n10:00-14:00 Canarian Games and Sports Exhibition on Avenida de Canarias Pedestrian Zone\nTraditional Gran Canaria club game, shepherd’s jump, stone lifting, and plowing\nat 11:00 Children’s Show:The Most Beautiful at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n12:30 La Jalada in concert Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n17:00-20:00 Traditional Canarian games on Avenida de Canarias Pedestrian Zone\n17:00 Rafaelillo Clown Performance Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n18:30 Maestro Florido at Plaza de Los Algodoneros\n\n		\n			#gallery-2 {\n				margin: auto;\n			}\n			#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n				float: left;\n				margin-top: 10px;\n				text-align: center;\n				width: 33%;\n			}\n			#gallery-2 img {\n				border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n			}\n			#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n				margin-left: 0;\n			}\n			/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n \nMOGÁN\n\n\n🔹 30 May: Puerto de Mogán Friday Market will have Canarian Day celebrations and festivities\n \n\n30 May in the farthest point of the municipality; La Cardonera in Veneguera from 10:00-16:00 \nExhibition in traditions and artisans, tastings, gastronomy, sale of local products, exhibitions of Silbo (whistle language), Shepperd’s Leap and Canarian wrestling, workshops and music\n\n \n\n\nTELDE\n \n🔹 Thursday 29 May: Romería Escolar\nPilgrimage by the local schools in Telde at 09:00 in the morning.
