La Oliva Town Council, through its Commerce Department, overseen by Alexandra Martín, will hold the 3rd edition of “Los Lajares de Tapeo 2026” on 6 and 7 November. The event will once again turn Los Lajares Public Square into a meeting place for food, local businesses, music and activities for the whole family.

A total of 22 food businesses from different parts of the Island will take part: 10 from Los Lajares, 5 from Corralejo, 5 from El Cotillo, one from Villaverde and one from Jandía.

The programme begins at 5 pm on Friday 6 November, when the food stalls open. They will remain open until 12.30 am. The evening will include a children’s cheese-making workshop led by Mario Benítez, performances by Parranda + del Norte and Mejor con Copas, and a closing set by Dúo Fantasía (Flor).

Activities on Saturday 7 November will begin at 10 am, with a varied programme. Visitors can browse the craft market organised by the Relajarte Association, take part in a ham workshop promoted by the Local Development Department, and join “Meet the furry residents of the municipal shelter”, an activity organised by the Public Health Department. There will also be a range of children’s workshops and dedicated spaces for children and young people. The food stalls will open at 1 pm.

The awards ceremony will take place at 6 pm, followed by live music from Parranda La Serena, Grupo Tabajoste and Laly Lean, who will bring the 3rd edition to a musical close.
