In late August, the Reggae Can Festival XII expanded its presence with a free concert in La Gomera featuring contemporary reggae and electronic artists. During the same period, the region saw the physical manifestation of the ‘aura farming’ internet trend, with events held in San Cristóbal de La Laguna and planned for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Vecindario. Following these modern festivities, traditional customs were highlighted through events such as the Noche Típica in Tijarafe, which featured regional folklore and competitions for traditional Canarian clothing.
