š From Chickens to Culture: Why You Shouldnāt Miss the Feria del Pollo in Adeje
Yes, you read that right. Chickens. In Adeje. And itās not just about poultry ā itās about people, local pride, and having a clucking good time. š
Let me explain.
šļø What Is the Feria del Pollo?
Held every year in the heart of Adeje, the Feria del Pollo (Chicken Fair) is a beloved community event that celebrates Canarian culture through gastronomy, live music, traditional crafts, and ā of course ā perfectly roasted chicken.
In 2025, the event will take place from Thursday, June 12th to Saturday, June 14th along Calle Grande, the townās main street. Entry is free, the food is sizzling, and the atmosphere is a lively mix of flavors, folklore, and friendly faces. Whether youāre a local or just visiting, itās one of those events that tastes and feels like home.
š½ļø What to Expect
At the heart of the fair is the star dish: Canarian-style grilled chicken, cooked outdoors by local chefs using secret spice blends and perfectly crispy skin (warning: you might dream about it afterwards).
But the fair is about much more than food. Youāll also enjoy:
-
š¶ Live music and traditional dance performances
-
š§¶ Crafts and handmade goods from local artisans
-
š· Wine, beer, and mojo sauce (itās a Tenerife rule)
-
š Childrenās workshops, games, and family activities
-
š A celebration of rural culture, island pride, and everyday joy
What makes it extra special this year is the community participation ā with more local restaurants, associations, and volunteers involved than ever before.
āØ Itās More Than a Food Festival
The Feria del Pollo is a moment to gather, connect, and celebrate the everyday heroes of Adeje: the local businesses, the abuelas stirring mojo by hand, the kids dancing in folk costumes, and the chefs whoāve mastered the noble art of perfectly grilled poultry.
Thereās something magical about walking through the fair, plate in hand, music in the air, and realizing: this is the real Tenerife.
