Festivals and big dates in Tenerife
Tenerife's calendar has a handful of dates that change the night. Here you'll find the Santa Cruz carnival nights of 2027, when the capital dances in the street and the night buses run back to the south; New Year's Eve on the island, with what the clubs and the town councils have made official so far; and the public holidays of 2027, island-wide and town by town, with the nights that come before them. Every date comes from the official programme or the Canary Islands' bulletin, with the day we checked it. For the club nights on each of those dates, open the calendar; for 31 December, start with New Year's Eve in Tenerife.

New Year's Eve in Tenerife 2026: the night of 31 December, island-wide
Tenerife sees in 2027 on a Thursday night, with a day off to follow. The town councils announce their squares, chimes and fireworks in December, so this page starts with what is already official: the clubs that have announced their New Year's Eve, the Christmas taxi fare, the bus and tram that run through the night, and how warm the night is likely to be.

Tenerife festivals 2027: the fiesta calendar month by month, and how firm each date is
Not every 2027 date on this island has been published, and some never will be in a single place. So this calendar does something simple: it gives each fiesta its date and says what that date rests on. A law, an official programme, a calculation from Easter, or a pattern that repeats every year and could still move.

Santa Cruz carnival nights 2027: the five street nights and the ride home
The 2027 Santa Cruz de Tenerife carnival has five street nights: the official calendar marks Friday 19 February, Saturday 20 February and Monday 22 February, then Friday 26 February and Saturday 27 February. They start after the opening parade, spread across the city's streets with no set start time, and the last night bus back to the south leaves at 04:10.

Public holidays in Tenerife in 2027, island-wide and town by town
Of the holidays that apply all over Tenerife in 2027, eleven are shared with the rest of the Canary Islands and one belongs to the island alone. The local ones are where the calendar changes: Carnival Tuesday is a day off in Arona two weeks before it is in Santa Cruz, and Adeje turns October into a four-day weekend. Here are all of them, with the nights before them.
