The Oktoberfest Storytold by Club Canary

The Fest

Bavaria lands in Puerto de la Cruz.

Every late summer the seafront of Puerto de la Cruz turns into a beer garden. German beer, brass bands, long tables and island sunshine. Entry is free.

The Setting

Oompah with an ocean view.

The musicians play beside the water, with the Atlantic behind them. It is the one Oktoberfest where you can hear tubas and see the sea at the same time.

The Food

Street food with a Canarian twist.

Hearty festival plates, plus vegan and gluten-free zones so everyone eats well. Go early if you want a table, it fills up once the bands start.

The Beer

German, Canarian and international.

Cold beer in proper festival mugs, carried to the tables on trays. The beer tents are adults only, the rest of the festival is family friendly.

The Night

The square after dark.

The festival keeps going into the evening with music, food and a full square. Evenings in the north get cooler, so bring a light layer.

The Tent

Long tables, one orchestra.

Communal tables under the blue and white tent, the orchestra in the middle. There is a second Oktoberfest too, in La Laguna in September, free and open to all ages.

Good To Know

Free entry, sort your transport.

Both festivals are in the north, about 45 to 75 minutes from the south. Nobody should drive after a few steins, so take a taxi. Going as a group? Club Canary can arrange private round-trip transport, door to door. Dates change every year, so check before you go.

Oktoberfest In Tenerife, A Bavarian Party In The Sun

Every year, Tenerife throws its own Oktoberfest: authentic German beer, hearty food, live brass bands and a proper festive atmosphere, but with island sunshine instead of Munich rain. There are two main celebrations, in Puerto de la Cruz and in La Laguna, and both are free to enter. Here is everything worth knowing: when and where they happen, what to expect, and how to get there, including group transport if you are a bigger crew.

Free to enter, easy to enjoy. Real German beer and music, Canary Islands weather. Just sort your transport and go.

Good to know: Tenerife's Oktoberfest events are free to enter and you attend independently. There are two: one in Puerto de la Cruz (usually late August) and one in La Laguna (usually September). The beer tents are adults only due to alcohol, though the wider events are family-friendly. Dates shift a little each year, so always check the current dates before you go.

Oktoberfest Comes To Tenerife

Oktoberfest is not just about German beer, it is a whole cultural celebration, and Tenerife does it well. Local hotels, bars and restaurants join in, there is live music through the evenings, and the food runs from classic bratwurst and sauerkraut to Canary Islands twists, with vegan and gluten-free options too. Whether you love traditional German folk or today's hits, there is something to get everyone up and dancing, and the sunshine makes it a very different Oktoberfest to the one back home.

The Two Oktoberfest Events In Tenerife

Oktoberfest Puerto de la Cruz

Explanada del Muelle · usually late August · free

The bigger, established one, held on the seafront in the northern town of Puerto de la Cruz. Big beer tents, live Bavarian bands, food stalls and a lively crowd. This is the one Club Canary has run south-to-north transport for in the past.

Oktoberfest La Laguna

Plaza del Adelantado · usually September · free, all ages

Held in the historic square of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. German beer alongside Canary and international brews, a dedicated gastro zone, and vegan and gluten-free options, with live music and a friendly, all-welcome feel.

Both events are free and run over a few days. The exact dates change each year, so search the official Oktoberfest Tenerife pages for the current schedule, or message us and we will point you in the right direction.

What To Expect

The beer. Authentic German beers, plus Canary and international options, served in proper Oktoberfest mugs.

The food. Bratwurst, sauerkraut and German classics, with vegan and gluten-free zones so everyone eats well.

The music. Live brass bands and DJs, mixing traditional German folk with modern hits all evening.

Getting To Oktoberfest From The South

Both events are in the north of the island, so from the southern resorts it is a drive of roughly 45 to 75 minutes. You can go by car or taxi, and if you plan to enjoy the beer, a taxi or arranged transport is the sensible call so nobody has to drive.

🍺 Transport & Group Bookings

Club Canary has run a shuttle from the south to the Puerto de la Cruz Oktoberfest in past years. Right now we do not have a scheduled public shuttle for it, so we would rather be upfront than sell a ride we are not running.

Going as a group, though? That is exactly the kind of thing we can arrange: private round-trip transport to Oktoberfest, sorted door to door, so your whole crew travels together and no one has to drive home. Tell us your group size and date and we will put it together. Message us on WhatsApp or email events@clubcanary.com.

Club Canary's Honest Take

Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands

Oktoberfest in Tenerife is a genuinely fun night out, German beer and brass bands under Canary Islands skies, and the best part is that both events are free to walk into. The only thing to sort is getting there and back, since they are up in the north and you will not want to drive after a few steins.

We are honest about it: we are not running a public shuttle for it right now. But if you are a group and want private transport to Oktoberfest, sorted properly so everyone travels together and gets home safe, that is our thing, so just message us. Otherwise, grab a taxi, enjoy the beer, and have a great night.

Free festival, great atmosphere. Sort the transport and enjoy the party.
