Las Palmas de Gran Canaria public holidays and shop opening days (2026 and 2027)

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s two local holidays are 17 February (Martes de Carnaval) and 24 June (Fundación de la Ciudad) in 2026, as the official page lists them, and the region sets which Sundays and holidays shops may open.

Why it matters
Local holidays close offices, schools and many shops, and they move administrative deadlines.

Steps

  1. Find the local holidays
    The official page lists 17 February (Martes de Carnaval) and 24 June (Fundación de la Ciudad) in 2026.
  2. Check when shops may open
    The Canary Islands' resolution of 18 November 2025 (BOC 239, 2 December 2025) gives Gran Canaria these 2026 opening days for shops outside the special-hours regime: 4 January, 2 April, 30 May, 15 August, 2 and 29 November and 6, 13, 20 and 27 December.
  3. Plan around closures
    Local holidays are paid, non-recoverable days off for workers and count as non-working days for administrative deadlines, so offices may be closed and deadlines can move; check the office’s own page.
