Cultural programming in La Laguna

Overview

San Cristóbal de La Laguna is conducting a series of cultural and heritage events in September 2026.

Early in the month, the municipality hosted the Festival de Mayores as part of the Fiestas del Cristo, featuring musical performances and accessibility measures. Concurrently, the city expanded its Pasaporte Joven 2026 program, providing over 100 free leisure activities for youth across various neighborhoods.

Following these festivities, the city held the ninth edition of ‘Las Noches del Patrimonio’ (Nights of Heritage) on September 18 and 19. Organized in collaboration with the Group of World Heritage Cities of Spain, the event was extended over two days for the first time, serving as a “cultural laboratory” for the historical sites of the Canary Islands.

The program included interpretive routes, the opening of buildings typically closed to the public, international performances, contemporary dance, and the ninth edition of ‘Escena Patrimonio’. Mayor Luis Yeray Gutiérrez stated that the event demonstrates the city’s ability to explain its legacy through creativity and social involvement, noting that heritage serves as a “living resource that generates collective identity.” Cultural Heritage Councilor Adolfo Cordobés added that the municipality remains committed to integrating research, dissemination, and accessibility within international conservation standards.
