The "DE AQUÍ" festival, now in its second edition, will be held on Saturday, November 14th, along the Maritime Avenue and Plaza del Carmen in Playa de Santiago. Organized by the Alajeró City Council, the event aims to showcase local products in all their facets: fashion, gastronomy, and culture from La Gomera.
The initiative seeks to connect fashion, gastronomy, and territory, promoting local commerce and island products. The day will offer a complete seaside experience, including fashion shows, tastings, and live music.
Local fashion businesses will present their collections in a well-established fashion show, while local producers will offer tastings to highlight the gastronomic richness of La Gomera, thereby strengthening the primary sector's value chain.
The event will kick off at 5:00 PM with the opening of sales stalls and a tasting area. At 6:30 PM, the anticipated Local Fashion Show will commence, which has achieved great success in previous editions thanks to the collaboration of local companies and the Asociación Matices. The Association of Entrepreneurs of the Alajeró Region (ACECA) also collaborates.
Participating businesses include MG Ayedacri, Foto Libre, Modas El Maguen, CasCas, and Deniz Pasoti. Musical entertainment will be provided by DJ Antonio Trujillo, DISHY D, and to conclude the evening, DJ Dailos Di María.
The festival is co-financed by the Dinamiza Rural Strategy of the Government of the Canary Islands, coordinated by GMR Canarias. This strategy aims to boost the primary sector and consolidate a sustainable rural development model linking local production, gastronomy, and culture in municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants like Alajeró.
