Bonfires of San Juan

The Bonfires of San Juan in Tenerife are an ancestral celebration that marks the arrival of the summer solstice with fire rituals, music, and community gatherings. On the night of June 23rd to 24th, beaches and town squares across various municipalities are lit up with bonfires, where symbolic objects are traditionally burned as a gesture of purification and renewal. The festivity is accompanied by open-air dances, fireworks displays, nighttime swims, and popular activities that blend tradition with fun. This magical event, full of symbolism and energy, has become one of the most eagerly awaited nights of the year on the island.
