Puerto de la Cruz is one of the most magical and surprising places on the island of Tenerife—not just for being a tourist destination with enviable warm weather and breathtaking landscapes. This charming corner, located on the northern coast, also stands out as a vibrant hub of culture, traditions, and special events. Throughout the year, festivals in Puerto de la Cruz transform its streets, squares, and public spaces into lively stages where locals and visitors immerse themselves in unique artistic, musical, and cultural experiences.
The variety of celebrations in Puerto de la Cruz spans different spheres. One of its standout events is the iconic International Street Art Festival, Mueca, during which the city turns into an open-air stage for several days. In 2025, the festival will take place from May 8 to 11. During those dates, theatre, dance, circus arts, literature, and other artistic expressions will take over every corner with more than thirty performances.
When it comes to books and adventure stories, the International Travel and Adventure Literature Festival, Periplo, is one of the most important gatherings. Writers, travelers, and reading enthusiasts come together in this town to share inspiring stories and discuss distant cultures.
For music lovers—especially those passionate about alternative sounds—the calendar also holds great options:
The PHE Festival, celebrating its 10th edition on September 5 and 6, brings together various artists and urban trends in a unique setting designed for pure enjoyment. Additionally, jazz lovers have a must-attend date with the Canarias Jazz&Más International Festival, where renowned artists in this genre perform at the popular Costa Martiánez Municipal Tourist Complex, one of the town’s most iconic spots.
Classical music also has its place with events such as the Puerto de la Cruz Bach Festival, taking place in December and offering a unique experience for those seeking more traditional cultural events.
We can’t forget the magical Night of San Juan, celebrated on June 23, when the beaches light up with bonfires and offer a visual spectacle, or the emotional July festivities in honor of the Virgen del Carmen, where maritime devotion is expressed through heartfelt sea processions and joyful celebrations. It is, without a doubt, the perfect time to feel and understand Canarian culture.
Other notable events include: the Agatha Christie International Festival, which pays tribute to the British writer and her connection to the city; the Veranos del Taoro, held from June 17 to 21, combining music, theatre, and gastronomy in a privileged setting; and the Bavarian Week – Oktoberfest, taking place from August 24 to 31, celebrating the island’s German cultural heritage.
Each of these festivals, beyond being cultural events, transforms Puerto de la Cruz into a true mosaic of emotions, flavors, and sounds—offering visitors a deeper and more authentic perspective of the destination.
