The 37th Island Craft Fair will transform Antigua into the epicenter of Canarian culture from May 7th to 10th, offering a blend of traditional music and an exhibition by over 200 artisans.

Organized by the Antigua Town Council, through its Department of Culture, and the Mafasca collective, the fair will feature performances by prominent musical groups. On Saturday, May 9th, Los Cantadores will perform at 12:30 PM, followed by Sirinoque at 4:30 PM and the Banda del Cuco at 6:30 PM.
On Sunday, May 10th, the group Taburiente from La Palma will take the stage starting at 12:00 PM. This day will also include the presentation of the 2026 Island Craft Award, recognizing excellence and dedication in the craft sector.
The fair, spanning the streets and church square of Antigua, will showcase over 200 stalls displaying the work of approximately 40 different trades. Artisans will use raw materials from Fuerteventura and other Canary Islands, highlighting the richness and diversity of local art.
A new feature this year is the earlier closing time for exhibitors, moving from 9:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with the event concluding on Sunday at 3:00 PM. In addition to crafts, visitors can explore a market offering zero-kilometer products such as honey, liqueurs, cheeses, oils, and bread, complementing the cultural and gastronomic offerings of the event.
