Public holidays in Tenerife in 2027, island-wide and town by town

Twelve, and they apply everywhere on the island. The Canary Islands Government set them in Decree 115/2026, published in the Boletín Oficial de Canarias (BOC) on 3 July 2026, and Spain's labour ministry included them in the national list published in the BOE on 13 October 2026.

Only one date shifts: the Assumption falls on Sunday 15 August, so the day off moves to Monday 16 August. Two holidays, 1 May and 25 December, land on a Saturday and stay there.

Because each island gets one holiday of its own. The decree swaps Santiago Apóstol's day, 25 July, for a feast chosen by each island, and Tenerife's is the Virgen de la Candelaria, on Tuesday 2 February.

The photo at the top, taken in 2022, shows the bronze statues of the Guanche menceyes, the kings of the island's nine territories before the conquest, on the seafront of Candelaria, the east-coast town that shares the Virgin's name. Since 2025 they've been in storage while the Plaza de la Patrona de Canarias is rebuilt; the town council says they'll return when the works end.

Falling on a Tuesday, the holiday leaves Monday as a normal working day. That makes Monday night the eve of a day off across the whole island.

These four matter most for a night out. Our club nights are in the south, between Costa Adeje, in Adeje, and Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, both on Arona's own list of neighbourhoods; the carnival is in Santa Cruz, and Puerto de la Cruz is the heart of the north after dark.

Adeje gets the longest break of the year: its Monday 11 October runs straight into Tuesday 12 October, Spain's National Day, so the weekend there lasts from Saturday to Tuesday. In Arona, Monday 4 October makes a three-day weekend a week earlier.

In the north, Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz share Monday 3 May, and so does Los Realejos. Landing on a holiday? On public holidays, intercity taxis charge their 'special days' rate all day, the same as on weekday nights from 22:00 to 06:00; the fares and the airport buses are in our guide from Tenerife South airport to Las Américas.

Only as a local holiday, and on two different Tuesdays two weeks apart. Adeje isn't on either list.

On 9 February it's a day off in nine municipalities: Arona, San Cristóbal de La Laguna, La Orotava, Granadilla de Abona, San Miguel de Abona, Arico, Fasnia, Tacoronte and La Matanza de Acentejo.

On 23 February the day off moves to Santa Cruz de Tenerife and seven more: Arafo, Candelaria, El Rosario, El Sauzal, Icod de los Vinos, La Victoria de Acentejo and Santa Úrsula. In the capital, that Tuesday is the day of the Coso, the parade that closes the carnival; its street nights are in our guide to the Santa Cruz carnival nights.

These are the weekends that stretch in 2027. The night that counts is always the one before the last day off. The first one opens on New Year's Eve, covered in New Year's Eve in Tenerife.

Club nights on those dates appear in the calendar as soon as they go on sale, and you can already see what's announced for 2027. For the venues themselves, start with clubs in Tenerife South.

Every municipality has exactly two, proposed by its town council and approved in the Canary Islands Government's order of 7 August 2026, published in the BOC on 21 August 2026. Spanish law caps the year at fourteen public holidays, two of them local, so this table completes the twelve above.
