Following the cancellation of its March event due to adverse weather conditions, the 11th instalment of the Canary Market Place is set to take place on June 1 and 2 in Nueva Atalaya. It will feature 45 Canary businesses and a fresh lineup of activities for both kids and adults. This event brings together craftsmanship, design, and local talent, making it a standout gastronomic, cultural, and leisure experience in the municipality, running from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. Entrance is free.
In its new venue, visitors can enjoy the facilities of the equestrian club, cafeteria, garden areas, chill-out terraces, and two free parking zones. This unique natural setting is just a 5-minute drive from the Tenerife North airport and 7 minutes from the Historic Center of La Laguna, nestled at the foot of the El Púlpito mountain.
Nearly 45 businesses in the areas of design, fashion, crafts, and art will showcase their creations in both outdoor stalls and the indoor area of the venue. Their works bear a distinct Canarian touch, with most coming from La Laguna or other Tenerife regions, but also featuring pieces from other islands such as La Palma Artesanía.
Aside from showcasing art ‘made in the Canary Islands’, this free-entry event sets itself apart by being a family-friendly leisure destination. The weekend will host a diverse programme of activities for all ages, featuring musical performances and a gastronomic service by López Echeto, alongside cocktail bars and more.
Simultaneously, the Market will coincide with the National Equestrian Jumping Competition, held at the same Nueva Atalaya Equestrian Club from Friday, May 31 to June 2, with 80 participants and free admission.
The Canary Market Place is backed by La Laguna Zona Comercial, La Atalaya Events, Toke Graphic, and Avanti Clinics.
