The II Telde Manga Fair closed its doors after three days of intense activity, attracting thousands of people and surpassing the organization's expectations.

The Telde Manga Fair has concluded its second edition with a resounding public success, establishing itself as a benchmark for pop culture and youth entertainment in the Canary Islands. For three days, thousands of fans packed the venue, participating in a program that expanded in content, spaces, and activities related to manga, anime, video games, cosplay, and Japanese culture.
The high attendance of visitors, from various parts of the island and the archipelago, confirms the event's consolidation. This year's edition was distinguished by a notable increase in the range of activities and the expansion of spaces dedicated to exhibitions, contests, workshops, and meetings with creators, allowing for a larger and more diverse audience across different age groups.
The mayor of Telde, Juan Antonio Peña, positively assessed the event's development, highlighting the city's capacity to host large-scale events that boost the local economy. For his part, the Councilor for Culture and Tourism, Juan Martel, emphasized the growth in activities and participation, reinforcing the municipal commitment to an innovative cultural program.
A significant aspect was the platform the fair provided for young Canarian artists and illustrators, who were able to showcase their talent and connect with industry professionals. The increase in local exhibitors and creators further solidifies the event's role in promoting emerging talent in illustration, design, and Japanese culture.
The celebration of the fair also generated a positive economic impact on the city, with an increase in customers at local restaurants and shops throughout the weekend. The City Council highlighted the collaboration of associations, collectives, and companies in the growth of this initiative.
