Bajamar to Host Third Annual Cañas y Camarones Festival on July 11
San Cristóbal de La Laguna will host the third annual Cañas y Camarones festival on July 11th in Bajamar, featuring a twelve-hour program of live music and local seafood designed to boost the regional economy.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna is set to host the third annual Cañas y Camarones festival, a highlight of the local summer calendar. The event will take place on July 11th near the natural swimming pools of Bajamar, running from 12:00 PM until midnight.
Organizers moved the festival to July as part of a strategy to boost the local economy in the island's northeast. By holding the event earlier in the summer, they hope to increase foot traffic for local businesses and restaurants. The date also coincides with the anniversary of Bajamar’s designation as a National Tourist Interest Zone, celebrating the area’s unique blend of natural beauty and modern leisure.
The festival centers on two main themes: local seafood and a diverse musical lineup. Set against the backdrop of the Bajamar lighthouse and the Atlantic coast, the event will feature continuous live performances throughout the twelve-hour schedule, with an additional surprise act to be announced on the day.
Beyond the entertainment, the festival plays a vital role in supporting the local economy in Bajamar and La Punta del Hidalgo. By drawing large crowds, the event provides a significant boost to local restaurants and transport services, successfully blending coastal culture with business growth ahead of the peak tourist season.
