Winter Pride Gran Canaria 2026: The Week, Day by Day

Gran Canaria does Pride twice a year. Maspalomas Pride fills the island in May, and Winter Pride comes back in November, just as the rest of Europe starts to get cold.

Winter Pride runs from Monday, November 2 to Sunday, November 8, 2026, in Playa del Inglés on the island’s south coast. Days are pool parties and boat trips. Nights end up at the Yumbo.

The week, day by day

• Monday, November 2: Opening Pool Party at AxelBeach, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• Tuesday, November 3: Studio 54 on the Hotel Faro rooftop, noon to 7 p.m.
• Wednesday, November 4: Wet & White at Amadores Beach Club, noon to 7 p.m., west along the coast.
• Thursday, November 5: Boat day, with the X-Men Only Boat Trip and the Gay Boat Cruise.
• Friday, November 6: Tropicana, the main pool party, at Ocean Club from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with Cascada playing live. That night the Yumbo main stage hosts Tara McDonald’s LOVE ELECTRIC concert, followed by a free ØDYSSEY B2B DAAAMN set.
• Saturday, November 7: The Pride Walk along Avenida de Tirajana, 3 to 6 p.m. It’s free and anyone can join.
• Sunday, November 8: The closing T-Dance at Seven Hotel, noon to 7 p.m.

The pool parties are ticketed. At the time of writing, Tropicana’s VIP packages had sold out but regular tickets were still available on winterpride.com.

The Yumbo

Gay nightlife on Gran Canaria lives in the Yumbo Centre, an open-air shopping centre in Playa del Inglés that turns into one big night out after dark. Start with Mantrix, Sparkles Show Bar, Copacabana, Coco Loco, Bärenhöhle and WunderBar, all within a few steps of each other.

Where to stay

Stay within walking distance of the Yumbo and you’ll never need a taxi. AxelBeach Maspalomas, Moon Dunes Apartment and Aqua Beach are all a few minutes away on foot. Pride week rooms go early, so book soon.
