The Isla Bonita Love Festival, best music festival in the Canary Islands in 2024

The event from La Palma obtains this recognition awarded by the Los40 music channel.

The Isla Bonita Love Festival, a musical event promoted by the Cabildo of La Palma through the public company Sodepal, has been recognised as the best festival in the Canary Islands 2024. This mention has been granted by the music channel Los40, which annually organises a gala to award these prizes. The award will be presented at a gala next November in Tenerife, along with the rest of the categories.

This distinction is endorsed by the work carried out since the launch of the festival, which aims to create a space for social and cultural diversity, where respect among all people is an indispensable fact.

The president of the Cabildo, Sergio Rodríguez, points out that the Isla Bonita Love Festival has become a ‘highly anticipated’ event for the general public at a regional level, with many people coming from other islands to attend the concerts. In addition, Rodríguez stresses that this event ‘is a reference point on the island, which has a great economic and, above all, social impact’.

Sergio Rodríguez also stresses that this is a pioneering event in the archipelago, from which other festivals have subsequently emerged for the same or another reason, and that although they have a larger budget and are held on more populated islands, the Isla Bonita Love Festival continues to be the benchmark.

Miriam Perestelo, Councillor for Economic Promotion and delegate of Sodepal, affirms that this recognition as the best festival of the archipelago ‘highlights the work of the whole team involved in the organisation of the event’. Perestelo added that ‘work is already underway’ to prepare the next edition.

As an event that takes place outside the so-called capital islands, this award is a boost for La Palma in cultural matters, with performances in each edition of renowned artists both nationally and internationally.

The Isla Bonita Love Festival also includes other activities in its programme, as part of a social agenda that has a positive impact on other sectors of La Palma.

The organisers of the Isla Bonita Love Festival are also grateful to the sponsors and collaborating companies for their confidence in the event and the support shown over the years, contributing to the fact that in its short trajectory it has already become an international benchmark.
