According to the town council, the Romería-Ofrenda is one of the key events in the festival programme for San Gregorio Taumaturgo, the co-patron saint of Telde. The procession begins on Monday, 16 November 2026, at 19:00 in La Barranquera and ends at the Plaza de San Gregorio, where the offerings will be presented. The Romería is a traditional pilgrimage from the Canary Islands in which groups dressed in traditional costume march in honour of a saint, bringing gifts with them.
After the offering ceremony, the evening continues in the Plaza: at 22:00, the groups Parrandas Palante, El Volumen and Yemaya will perform under the title 'Parrandeando por San Gregorio'. A 'parranda' is a group that plays Canarian folk songs and lively music in a convivial atmosphere.
At the same time, the festival grounds in Arauz will host a programme featuring DJ Promaster, Star Music and a verbena with the Armonía Show. The San Gregorio festivities begin in the days leading up to the main event: on Saturday 14 November 2026, the programme includes the 15th Folklore Festival organised by the Agrupación Folclórica Cendro in the Plaza de San Gregorio, whilst on Sunday 15 November 2026, the arts and crafts fair opens there.
