Looking for a plan that blends tradition, flavour, and fun right here in Gran Canaria? Then look no further. On 1st and 2nd May 2026, Holidayworld Maspalomas will transform to host the long-awaited Feria de Abril. So, there’s no need to pack your bags — the spirit of Andalusia is coming to the Nomad Gastro Market terrace for two days filled with colour, music and culture.
Family fun for all ages
For families keen to create lasting memories together, the Holidayworld Fair is an ideal choice. In fact, the event has been thoughtfully designed with all ages in mind:
- Flamenco workshops: from toddlers to grandparents, everyone can try their hand at the basic steps of Spain’s most iconic dance.
- Flamenco gala: a vibrant showcase of colour and talent, featuring both children and adult performers.
- The “alumbrado” ceremony: the official opening, complete with special hosts, traditional Sevillanas, and that unmistakable Southern charm.
“Pescaíto”, rebujitos, and nightlife
Meanwhile, if you’re in the mood for a lively evening with friends, this is very much the place to be. Forget the usual plans and embrace an atmosphere full of rhythm and energy:
- Authentic gastronomy: savour traditional pescaíto frito (fried fish) alongside refreshing rebujitos (sherry cocktails) – ideal for sharing.
- Live music: enjoy performances from Los Niños de Sevilla, Inma y Justo and Amanda de Paula.
- DJs and dancing: as the night goes on, DJ sessions will keep the party alive and the dance floor buzzing.
Whether you come for the food, the music or simply the atmosphere, you’ll quickly find yourself swept up in the unmistakable spirit of an Andalusian celebration.
A spectacular sky show
Of course, no fair would be complete without a grand finale. To round things off, the Maspalomas skyline will be illuminated with a stunning firework display.
It’s set to be a truly memorable moment – the perfect way to bring the celebrations to a close and leave a lasting impression.
