About this experience

Festivals in San Bartolomé are the annual patron saint celebrations held in the municipality of San Bartolomé, Lanzarote, typically taking place in late August. The event combines religious processions, live music, and traditional Canarian activities in the town's central plaza and streets. It is a public gathering that attracts both residents and visitors to observe local customs and community participation.

What to expect

The main religious procession honours San Bartolomé and moves from the church through decorated streets, with statues carried by local members.
Evening concerts feature Canarian folk groups and cover bands, performing on a stage in the Plaza de San Bartolomé from around 21:00 to midnight.
Traditional games and competitions, such as sack races and greasy pole climbing, are organised for children and adults on the afternoon of the main day.
A craft and food fair sets up stalls selling local cheese, wine, and handmade goods in the side streets adjacent to the plaza.
The festivities conclude with a firework display launched from the municipal sports ground, visible from the town centre.
The event suits families and cultural travellers, with most activities free to attend and lasting from mid-morning until late evening over three to five days.
