The “Encuentro Veneguera” (traditional folk music festival) began in 1989 as an initiative to celebrate culture and music in a natural setting, and it has maintained that essence over the years, preserving its spirit of gathering and coexistence.
The “Encuentro Veneguera” revolves around ethnography, the environment and music. It is the first fully sustainable event of its kind on the island.
Features:
- Coexistence: The festival is characterised by being a meeting place where locals, artists and visitors share experiences and enjoy music.
- Music: Renowned artists often participate and it has been a springboard for artists who have gone on to succeed in the Canarian and Spanish music scene.
- Gastronomy and crafts: There is a craft and food fair where you can find local products and enjoy traditional food.
- Workshops and activities: Workshops, children’s activities and other cultural events are organised for all ages.
The “Encuentro Veneguera” is an event that reflects the identity and cultural heritage of Veneguera, becoming a much-anticipated annual event for the island’s inhabitants and visitors alike.
