The Boreal Festival has firmly established itself as a global event, showcasing the vibrant cultural diversity of the Canary Islands (Spain). Nestled in the historic center of Los Silos on the island of Tenerife, this festival is far from the bustling city centers, making it a unique and immersive experience. By decentralizing culture and embracing sustainable tourism, Boreal stands as a pioneering force in the region’s cultural landscape.
As an internationally renowned music festival, Boreal offers a multidisciplinary and intergenerational experience that celebrates cultural encounters. It’s the only event of its kind born in the Canary Islands, providing a platform to explore different musical expressions from around the world while showcasing the local talent that thrives on these vibrant islands. With its innovative aesthetic, urban design, and eco-friendly approach, the festival attracts a diverse audience and offers something for everyone.
