Womad

WOMAD returns to the Canary Islands this November for another weekend of fabulous music, arts and dance from around the globe - all in the exhilarating beachside city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Las Palmas is the main city on the island of Gran Canaria, at the north of the island, around 20 minutes drive from the airport.

The venue, as for the past nine years, will be the Parque de Santa Catalina - a city square close to the centre of Las Palmas, and just 200 metres from the Playa de las Canteras, one of the island's longest and most spectacular beaches. There are many hotels, shops and restaurants in the vicinity.

This year, WOMAD Canarias will feature performances by many artists from around the world eager to share their music with you, DJ sessions, workshops for adults and children alike, plus, a Global Market and the Children's Procession, which will take place on Sunday afternoon.
