The Arona Jazz Festival returns to the Plaza de la Iglesia in Los Cristianos on April 24 and 25, 2026, featuring a diverse lineup of artists as part of a local initiative to revitalize the town's cultural and commercial scene.
Arona is boosting its cultural scene in the south of Tenerife with the announcement of the Arona Jazz Festival 2026. Local officials hope the event will help revitalize the social and commercial life of Los Cristianos. By returning to the Plaza de la Iglesia, the festival aims to bring live music directly into the heart of the town, encouraging residents and visitors to engage with artists in a vibrant, public setting.
The festival will take place on April 24 and 25, with performances starting at 8:00 p.m. The lineup offers a diverse mix of styles beyond traditional jazz:
- Thursday, April 24: Guitarist Christian Cabrera and his quintet will perform original compositions, followed by Las Capullitas de Alelí, who blend traditional sounds with theatrical, contemporary flair.
- Friday, April 25: The evening kicks off with the funk and soul sounds of Los Jinetes del Groove. The festival concludes with a performance by Omar Acosta, Leo Rondón, and vocalist Pastora Andrade, who will explore a fusion of jazz, Venezuelan music, and global rhythms.
This festival is a key part of the local government’s strategy to use culture to support local businesses and strengthen the community. By partnering with local business representatives, the Department of Culture hopes to establish Arona as a premier destination for high-quality arts in the Canary Islands. The City Council remains committed to making cutting-edge music accessible to everyone, inviting the public to enjoy this annual celebration in the open air.
