Pinolere Craft Fair Weekend
Held every September at the Pinolere Museum and Ethnographic Park, the Pinolere Craft Fair is one of Tenerife's most important cultural and ethnographic events, dedicated to preserving, promoting, and showcasing Canarian traditions, crafts, and identity. You'll find works in ceramics, basketry, textiles, jewelry, leather, and wood, and you can watch master artisans at work and participate in hands-on workshops.
Food is also a key part of the event, featuring local products such as cheeses, wines, and gofio, all accompanied by traditional Canarian folk music.
