Winter Pride takes place in Maspalomas from 2 to 8 November 2026. The organisers put the main stage in the Yumbo Centre, and admission to the evening galas there is free.
The line-up announced in July has the British drag performer La Voix on Wednesday 4 November, Anita Doth, Kelly O, Evi Goffin and Tameko Star sharing Thursday 5 November, Daisy Dee, Katherine Ellis and Conleth Kane on Saturday 7 November, and Bucks Fizz and Baccara closing on Sunday 8 November. The programme was published by the Canarian events site Canarias Fiestas; Bucks Fizz and Baccara have both been announced by the organisers themselves.
The large ticketed event is Tropicana, which the organisers call the main pool party of the week, with the Vengaboys and DJ Aron. Entry on its own is thirty euros, a sunlounger package for two is 120, and the VIP areas run from 400 euros to 1,500 for a pool area holding twelve. The Pride Walk is listed among the week's events on the front page, without a date so far.
One thing to know before planning the week in detail: at the end of August the 2026 programme was not yet online. The quick programme box on the front page was empty and the artists page still carried the 2025 line-up under a 2025 heading. The dates and the galas are settled; the day by day is not, so take it from the announcements as they come rather than from those pages.
November is the point of the event. The organisers advertise daytime temperatures of around 23 degrees, expect more than 40,000 visitors and ask people to book flights and accommodation early. Almost everything the week touches is within a few minutes of the Yumbo Centre, among it Club Kiki, WunderBar, Mardi Gras Bar, Sparkles Show Bar and Junior, with hotels such as Axel Beach Maspalomas and Seven Hotel & Wellness a short walk away.
Gran Canaria is part of Spain, so the legal position for same-sex couples and trans travellers is the one described on our Spain country page.
