Santa Cruz de Tenerife is gearing up to celebrate Canary Islands Day on Saturday, May 30th, with a day full of cultural and festive activities, culminating in a concert by José Vélez.

The city will become the epicenter of Canarian traditions, offering a program that will extend from morning until night. The highlight will be the concert by Canarian singer José Vélez, who will perform at 8:00 PM in the emblematic Plaza de La Candelaria.
The artist will perform his greatest hits, such as “Vino griego,” “Bailemos un vals,” or “No por favor,” songs that are part of the islands' soundtrack and have resonated with several generations. Vélez is expected to delight attendees with his voice and characteristic stage presence.

"Canary Islands Day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are, to value our roots, and with pride, our identity as a people. Having a figure like José Vélez on such a significant day is a source of pride for the city."
