The En Pie Festival, held last weekend, proved to be a resounding success by transforming the town into the cultural epicenter of Gran Canaria. With a diverse program that included theater, circus, music, and street art, the event attracted over 10,000 attendees, far exceeding initial estimates.
Over two days of intensive activity, Teror came alive with creativity, generating a direct economic impact of approximately 470,000 euros. The aerial performances of the show ‘Cubo,’ presented by the Italian company Eventi Verticali, as well as the premiere of ‘Between Heaven and Earth’ by Levi and Estrella, wowed attendees with acrobatics nearly 50 meters high, elevating the excitement of the event.
The festival stood out not only for its varied artistic offerings but also for the uniqueness of its performers. Wilbur, known for his participation in TVE’s Grand Prix, captivated the audience in Plaza de Sintes with his blend of acrobatics and humor. Audiences also enjoyed the energy from local groups like Aseres and Fran Baraja, as well as the 101 Brass Band Música and the Basque company Zurrunka Teatro, which brought vibrant rhythms to the streets.
Renowned artists such as Motion House, which presented a high-quality acrobatic dance performance, joined a diverse lineup that included clowns and theater companies like Rebambaramaba and La Gata Japonesa. Itinerant proposals and performances from emerging talents like Cía. Suso Imbernón and Chichirito brought a fresh and creative vibe to the festival.
Beyond attracting locals, the event managed to catch the attention of visitors from other regions of Spain and abroad, who took the opportunity to explore the historic center of Teror. With an average spend of approximately 47 euros per person, the En Pie Festival has invigorated local commerce, solidifying the town’s status as a cultural promotion hub.
The festival organizers emphasize that these achievements are the result of a joint effort from the Teror City Council, the Gran Canaria Cabildo, the Government of the Canary Islands, and support from various companies and entities committed to an accessible and transformative cultural model. This commitment has allowed the En Pie Festival to not only provide entertainment but also foster community cohesion and boost the local economy.
Looking ahead, the organizers are starting to dream about the 2026 edition, reaffirming their intention to continue transforming Teror into a vibrant and active cultural space.
