Tourists staying in various hotels in the city will be able to enjoy the performances of the Carnival groups that will show the beauty, rhythm and colour of this festival.
A documentary "Puerto de la Cruz, an International Carnival" will premiere on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. - via the Facebook page of Puerto de la Cruz' Department of Festivities, recalling the main events from previous editions, such as the gala for the election of the first King of Carnival 2019. While an exhibition of costumes will last until September 13, with the costumes of the Queen and the first infant King of last year, at the Martiánez Shopping Centre.
El Puerto de la Cruz celebra su Carnaval de Verano “más singular”
This year, there's a Tenerife-specific public holiday on 7 September 2020 for the Bajada de la Virgen del Socorro. This holiday normally coincides with Candlemas on February 2, but the date was swapped as that fell on a Sunday. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the Romería will not now take place.
The largest celebrations in September, any other year, would be the Fiestas del Cristo in La Laguna, the main day being the 14th, but which normally includes a month long array of events, both religious and popular, with parades, fireworks and more. Again, we imagine there will be an adjusted program this year.
The annual Pinolere Craft Fair, normally held in August / September, is to be fused with the Feria del Queso (Cheese Fair) and held in November.
Events on the Rally Calendar are scheduled to restart.
The following are holidays in individual municipalities:
- 8 September: Festivity of Nuestra Señora del Socorro in Güímar
- 8 September: Festivity of Nuestra Señora de Abona in Arico
- 8 September: Festivity of Nuestra Señora de la Luz in Los Silos
- 8 September: Nuestra Señora de los Remedios in Tegueste
- 14 September: Festivity of the Santísimo Cristo de La Laguna
- 14 September: Festivity of San José in San Juan de la Rambla
- 21 September: Santísimo Cristo de la Dulce Muerte in Guía de Isora
- 29 September: San Miguel Arcángel in San Miguel de Abona
