The best Tenerife events for the winter season of Christmas and New Year by 2024 and beyond
Some say that Tenerife events which don't charge entrance are the best. Others feel that everything which has a price is worth so much more. Another correct answer may be that all depends, you know...

Now to most popular repeated Christmas highlights in the Tenerife capital
That's the Mercadillo craft market with gifts to marvel over in Santa Cruz. Where? Right next to Plaza de España by its lake. Get to it through the ancient Roman gates into Park Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena. Walk past the food stalls with open air seating around a gigantic Christmas tree while enjoying live music entertainment and fun fair mini cars for children.
Entertainment Tenerife Christmas around a huge tree full of parcels and ornaments on Plaza de EspañaReason being why this Christmas market has improved tremendously is because new artistic people from all Canary Islands have joined who had lost employment during the Pandemic. This seasonal incident is usually taking place from December 15 right through to January 6th the day of Reyes the Spanish Christmas.
Top Tenerife events with classical music
Many a Tenerife concert doesn't take place in halls with superb acoustics but on simple town squares for free. I have been to one by the former Recova Markt next to the oldest Theater of the Canary Islands in Santa Cruz.
Free XXVI Christmas concert 2019 by the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra OST by annual custom
- Where? Santa Cruz de Tenerife capital harbor at the Darsena de Los Llanos (near Plaza Espana in Avda-La Roche 49) like every year
- When: December 25 at about 9p.m.at night
- Look out for more such incidents from November until Spanish Christmas January 06.
New years Eve celebrations the Noche Vieja took place in 2024/2025 in the Auditorio Adan Martin in the Tenerife capital.
Then, there are always New Years Eve street parties at La Noria the Tenerife party street now Calle Antonio Dominguez Alfonso in walking distance from the Auditorio and Plaza de Candelaria.
Included are la Noria celebrations of the mad season, as carnival is the most important Tenerife event after Christmas and New Year.
Outstanding Spain Gospel Shine Voices band street performance of Tenerife events
Depicted are only a few musicians and singers of this fabulous Spanish Gospel band, probably the best in Europe in my mind. It offers musical shows for Tenerife events, such as weddings and more. The next free performance, an amazing success by the way, was to be in Icod de Los Vinos by the stairs of the Ayuntamiento on January 04, 2020 at 18.00 in the evening. I could not see them well to take a shot in Santa Cruz on December 19th. A big crowd like a mini Rave prevented it in the confined Space downtown Santa Cruz. Expect them to become a permanent Christmas feature in Tenerife towns.
