The City Council, together with the island and Canary Islands institutions, presents the closing programme for the 25th anniversary as a World Heritage City.
International conferences, exhibitions, an institutional ceremony and an audiovisual show in the Cathedral will form part of the final week of events.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna is preparing to host a new edition of the City of La Laguna Choral Festival, which this year celebrates its 46th edition, from 15 to 21 December 2025, in some of the municipality’s most emblematic heritage and cultural venues.
The city thus becomes the epicentre of an international debate on how to preserve, disseminate and project its legacy into the future, reinforcing its role as a heritage benchmark in the Canary Islands and in Latin America.
Set in the final years of the 16th century, the play suggests that the mythical tree bearing golden apples described in classical mythology was located in La Laguna and that these apples could grant immortality to King Philip II.
The conference will be held in the afternoon in the Crystal Room of the former convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, with free admission.
The initiative, which is part of the programme commemorating the 25th anniversary of the city’s inclusion on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, is conceived as a contemporary reinterpretation of the historic cultural emergence of ‘Pibes ’85’.
Throughout the morning, the activity took place in the most emblematic streets and monuments of the historic centre, linking towers, balconies and bell towers through sound.
This exhibition is complemented by the heritage routes “Quintana in La Laguna. The painter in the city 300 years later”, organised by the Department of Cultural Heritage of La Laguna together with Localiando.
The event, which is held simultaneously in September in the Group’s 15 cities, is expanding in response to the high demand generated by this event year after year.
The parade will depart at 5:30 p.m. from Doctor Olivera Square and proceed through the main streets of the town centre.
