A Decade of Soul on the Atlantic
The Mayor of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Marco Aurelio Pérez Sánchez, has officially announced the tenth edition of the Maspalomas Costa Canaria Soul Festival. The announcement was made at the prestigious World Travel Market in London, where the mayor highlighted the event as one of the municipality’s most iconic cultural gatherings. The festival is scheduled to take place from July 17 to 19, 2026, on the beautiful San Agustín Beach.
Spain’s Premier Soul Music Event
Declared an event of local tourist interest, the Maspalomas Costa Canaria Soul Festival has solidified its reputation over ten years as the largest soul music meeting in Spain and a benchmark event within Europe. Organized by the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council with the direction and production of DD&Company Producciones, led by Dania Dévora, the festival masterfully combines the enchanting coastline of southern Gran Canaria with a carefully curated lineup of prestigious national and international artists. This creates a unique spectacle on the shores of the Atlantic.
More Than Just a Music Festival
However, the festival offers much more than just music; it is a comprehensive cultural experience that fosters community, promotes sustainable tourism, and encourages citizen participation. Throughout the weekend, attendees can enjoy not only open-air concerts but also family-friendly activities, diverse gastronomic zones, and community-focused leisure proposals designed for shared enjoyment.
A Point of Pride and a Meeting Point
Mayor Marco Aurelio Pérez emphasized during the London presentation that the festival is instrumental in promoting Maspalomas on an international scale. He also noted that it serves as an exemplary cultural and leisure proposal for local residents and acts as a dynamic driver for the local economy. “Celebrating ten years of the Maspalomas Costa Canaria Soul Festival is a point of pride for our entire municipality,” he stated. “We have transformed San Agustín Beach into a meeting point for soul music lovers and for anyone seeking a different kind of experience, where culture, community, and the sea come together in a uniquely beautiful way.”
