The program will include workshops, face painting, attractions, music, gastronomy, a large circus, a sports area and a multitude of proposals spread across seven points in the city.
The city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna will dress up this coming Saturday, May 17, to display a new edition of Family Day, a day of leisure and revitalization with which the City Council wants to celebrate the great diversity of the municipality's society. The planned agenda will include more than 40 events designed for all audiences.
This Wednesday the official presentation of this event took place, in which the mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, took the floor; the Councilor for Social Welfare and Quality of Life, María Cruz; and the person in charge of La Laguna Commercial Zone, Iván Pérez. Also present were councilors Badel Albelo (Sports and Citizen Security), Sergio Eiroa (Youth and Education) and Estefanía Díaz (Commerce and Tourism).
Luis Yeray Gutiérrez highlighted that "this is one of the popular events that has grown the most in recent years in our municipality, demonstrating that La Laguna is a living city, with a wide range of culture and recreation for all sectors of our population."
“We have a wide variety of proposals and, it is important to emphasize, these are adapted, inclusive and accessible activities, through the resources of the Orange Point of support and accompaniment to people with disabilities,” added the highest representative of the Consistory, who recalled that “this is an inalienable objective of this Government Group, a municipality for all people, for which the city has been internationally recognized.”
The scheduled time for this family day will be from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., “to be respectful of the rest of the people who live in the historic center,” the mayor said.
For her part, the Councilor for Social Welfare and Quality of Life, María Cruz, explained that the planned agenda will be divided into seven well-differentiated spaces, “to facilitate the transit and enjoyment of citizens.” These reference points will be San Agustín and Heraclio streets, La Aneja school and the plazas of the Junta Suprema, Adelantado, El Cristo and La Catedral.
“Throughout this Saturday, in our historic center we will be able to enjoy family and educational workshops, face painting, inflatables, simulators, story readings, awareness talks, photocalls, specific areas for the practice of different sports disciplines, board games, an escape room or a circus fair, among other surprises,” added the mayor.
Once again, inclusion will be given prominence with specific physical and sensory disability workshops, barrier-free spaces, accompaniment service, sensitive backpacks and sign language interpreters, so that no person is left without enjoying this event with entertainment. Two Violet Points will also be enabled, with information and advice for women who find themselves in a situation of sexist harassment or aggression.
Among the novelties of this edition is the gastronomic area of Plaza del Adelantado, where you can taste products from different food stalls, in addition to the new rest and breastfeeding areas that will be distributed throughout the city. In addition, an official event passport will be distributed to reward people who visit at least four of the seven planned locations with a gift.
Finally, the La Laguna Councilor for Social Welfare wanted to thank the involvement and work of the technical and political staff of the areas that participate in the celebration of this La Laguna Families Day 2025.
All programming and details of schedules and locations will be provided through the social profiles of the La Laguna City Council and the Department of Social Welfare and Quality of Life.
