About this experience

Festivals in Morro Jable are a year-round series of local celebrations held in the coastal town of Morro Jable, Fuerteventura. These events include religious processions, live music, and traditional Canarian food stalls, reflecting the town's fishing and cultural heritage. Each festival offers a distinct atmosphere, from the solemnity of the Virgen del Carmen procession to the lively summer fiestas.

What to expect

The Virgen del Carmen procession in July sees a decorated boat carrying the saint's statue taken into the harbour, followed by fireworks and a maritime blessing.
The Fiesta de San Juan in June features bonfires on the beach at midnight, with locals and visitors jumping over the flames for good luck.
Summer festivals include open-air concerts on the promenade, with local bands playing Canarian folk music and pop covers from 9pm until midnight.
Food stalls at each festival serve grilled sardines, papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, and local goat cheese, with portions priced between 3 and 8 euros.
The Christmas market in December sets up wooden cabins in the town square, selling handmade crafts, nativity figures, and roasted chestnuts, open from 5pm to 10pm.
Most festivals are free to attend and suitable for families, with children's activities such as face painting and sack races held in the afternoon.
