Fiestas de Las Nieves 2025 – Villa de Agaete
Agaete, on the northwest of Gran Canaria are celebrating Fiestas de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves (Our Lady of the Snows) between 25 July- 23 August 2025.
One of the major symbols of identity on the island of Gran Canaria is, without doubt, la Fiesta de La Rama (4 August) in Agaete, on the north of the island. This is the main fiesta for the town, in honour of Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves (Our Lady of the Snows), which was declared a Fiesta of National Tourist Interest in 1972.
Tuesday 5, August 2025, is also a local bank holiday in the municipality.
“The festivities will also mean special traffic and parking restrictions in the centre of Villa and Puerto de Nieves. There will be specific parking areas set up nearby.”
