• The fair, which had to be postponed due to weather conditions, debuts a new location on the rooftop of the Parking Faro de Maspalomas
• This year’s event, featuring 57 artisans from 15 municipalities across the island, continues to attract both local residents and tourists visiting Gran Canaria

The 15th Gran Canaria Craft Fair · Primavera Sur now has new dates. Following the postponement of its initial schedule due to weather conditions, the event will finally take place from 8 to 15 April in a new location: the rooftop of the Parking Faro de Maspalomas, located on Avenida Cristóbal Colón.

This edition brings together 57 artisans from 15 municipalities in Gran Canaria, representing 22 craft trades, four of them traditional. The fair continues to establish itself as an attractive event for both island residents and the many tourists visiting the south of Gran Canaria during this period.

The fair also maintains its role as a showcase where tradition and innovation go hand in hand. Once again, visitors will find original, high-quality, fully handmade pieces. Jewellery is the most represented craft, followed by ceramics, macramé and fashion. The fair also includes pottery, basketry, knife-making, metalwork, wool spinning, as well as the creation of soaps, toys, patchwork quilts and handmade dolls, among other disciplines.

In terms of origin, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria leads participation, followed by Agüimes and Telde. Artisans from Santa Lucía de Tirajana, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Valsequillo, Teror, Santa Brígida, Mogán, Firgas, Agaete, San Mateo, Ingenio, Gáldar and Arucas will also take part.

The fair will be open daily from 10:00 to 19:00 throughout the eight days. In addition, a programme of live music performances will complement the event. It will begin on Thursday 9 April at 17:00 with a recital by international soloist Ana García. On Friday 10 April, Asentaos y Tumbaos will perform at the same time, followed by La Musicleta on Saturday 11 April at 12:00. On Sunday 12 April, it will be the turn of Misi Live Music, and on Tuesday 14 April, Los del Son, both at 17:00.

Both the full programme of activities and the complete list of participating artisans are available on the official website:
