Thousands turn out for 45th Romería in La Victoria de Acentejo

Around 10,000 people took to the streets of La Victoria de Acentejo on Saturday, 29 August 2026, for the 45th Romería in honour of San Isidro Labrador. The event, one of the standout moments in the Fiestas de Agosto 2026 programme, once again turned the town centre into a vibrant hub of Canarian tradition, music and gastronomy, with dozens of decorated carts, folk groups and pilgrims dressed in typical attire parading through the streets.

Mayor stresses the deep roots of the celebration

During the procession, the town’s mayor, Juan Antonio García Abreu, highlighted how deeply embedded the event is in local life, noting: “The romería is one of those occasions that particularly reflects the sense of belonging and pride in our traditions.” He also extended his gratitude to the community groups and residents whose efforts ensure the festival continues year after year.

A meeting point for all generations

In a similar vein, the councillor for Festivals, Yurena Gutiérrez, stressed the inclusive role the celebration plays within the culture of the north of the island. She described the romería as a cornerstone of local identity, capable of bringing together different generations from the municipality and across Tenerife year after year.

What’s next in the Fiestas de Agosto programme

Following the success of the weekend, the Fiestas de Agosto programme continues over the coming days with events aimed at children, musical performances, sporting activities and the traditional Noche Atrevida.
