Get ready for a season of sparkling lights, joyful music, and community fun as Puerto del Carmen prepares for its annual Christmas celebrations. Building on the success of last year, the 2025 programme promises a vibrant mix of traditional charm and modern entertainment for all ages, making it the perfect destination for a festive holiday.
The spirit of Christmas will be officially welcomed with the inauguration of the town’s beautiful nativity scene, a cherished tradition often accompanied by the harmonious voices of a local choir. This sets the stage for a month filled with diverse events. Music lovers can look forward to a fantastic line-up of free live performances on the Avenida de las Playas and at the Plaza de las Naciones, where stages will host everything from local Canarian folk groups and parrandas to contemporary musical acts.
A major highlight is the annual Christmas Crafts Exhibition in the Plaza de las Naciones, a bustling hub where you can browse unique handmade gifts and enjoy scheduled performances over several days. For families, the season is packed with magic. Children will be thrilled by the arrival of Santa Claus to the municipality and can enjoy specially curated theatrical productions like musical adaptations of beloved Christmas stories at the Tías Municipal Theatre.
The fun extends to the younger crowd with a series of modern tournaments at the Tías Youth Space, including ping-pong, basketball, and FIFA video game competitions. The celebrations reach a spectacular climax on New Year’s Eve with a huge party at Plaza El Varadero, featuring live music and DJs to count down to a breathtaking fireworks display over the famous Avenida de las Playas at midnight.
Finally, the magic of the season culminates with the unforgettable Three Kings Parade on January 5th. Their Majesties will arrive in regal style at the Puerto del Carmen dock before parading through the streets, collecting children’s wish lists and spreading joy to everyone.
This preview offers a glimpse into the festive excitement planned for Puerto del Carmen. The full schedule with confirmed dates and times for the 2025 Christmas programme will be published in English on our website as soon as it is officially released by the Ayuntamiento de Tías later this year. Check back to plan your perfect Christmas getaway!
