!Halloween it is celebrated in great in Tenerife! The official date of Halloween is 31 October but it is usually celebrated a few days before. Although many still consider that this festival does not have to take root in the Canary Islands – and they see it almost as an offense to tradition since the All Saints’ Day (November 1) or the Day of the Dead or Dead (November 2), parties of recollection in which we try to remember loved ones who are no longer with us- the truth is that more and more people are taking advantage of the eve of the holiday of November 1 to go out partying, give more than one scare and ask that trick or treat? And this year, in addition, the holiday falls on Sunday being a holiday on Monday, so there are parties that will start from Friday.
A) Yes, on the island parties, events, shows and even hiking trails are organized in different places both in the north and in the south, especially in those tourist municipalities or those in the metropolitan area, which use the typical Halloween decoration in stores and shop windows as one more dynamic element of the commercial areas.
In the south of the island, mainly in Adeje and Arona, you can find decorated shops and restaurants with their staff in costume during Halloween. But this is not only exclusive to places where the clientele is foreign, the fashion has been spreading to other parts of the island geography.
Parties in the south

If you want to celebrate Halloween in the style of Tenerife, perhaps this nightclub is the right place in Costa Adeje. Every year Achaman organizes a great Halloween party with great Latin music.
Papagayo Beach Club
Here they usually have a big Halloween party every year. There are DJs and most of the time House music plays.

Although all the discos and clubs on the island usually hold events to celebrate this Anglo-Saxon party, remember that this year, although some party rooms have been able to reopen, dances are not allowed.
