Tenerife is buzzing with activities over the weekends – especially during this long Easter break – as both public and private sectors are keen on keeping the entertainment scene vibrant on the island. Easter processions, festivals, and family-friendly cinema are some of the exciting options available in the upcoming days for you to enjoy a few hours of entertainment tailored to your liking. Here are the planned activities for this weekend:
Holy Week Celebrations
Fully immersed in Holy Week, the main religious events take place during these festive days, with the spotlight on the processions in Santa Cruz and La Laguna, although similar events will be held in different parts of the island. Guides detailing each event in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Laguna are available here.
Additionally, this Good Friday in Adeje, one of the most anticipated events for the faithful takes place: the performance of The Passion of Christ in the historic centre of the municipality.
Festivals
Good Friday brings La Misa, an electronic music festival featuring DJs Marco Carola, Ilario Alicante, Solardo, Frank Rizardo and Sara de Araujo. Costa Adeje is the chosen venue for this show that merges live sessions, dance, and theatrical performances in a carnival-like atmosphere that immerses attendees in a unique playful experience, with nine hours of vibrant rhythms.
On Saturday, it’s time for MAPPA, the new project by GreenWorld premiering this Easter in Tenerife. The event will take place at the Siam Park amphitheatre and will feature artists like Golfos, East end dubs, Max Dean, Alex Wellmann, and Jackmaster, among others.
