The largest Canarian folk dance is 507 people and was achieved by Ayuntamiento de San Cristóbal de La Laguna in La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain, on 13 September 2024
The event took place during the Fiestas del Cristo, a lively local festival in honor of Christ, featuring a variety of traditional and cultural activities that brings the community together in a vibrant display of local customs and traditions.
The energy and enthusiasm were truly remarkable. Dancers of all ages, from children to seniors, came together, united by their deep connection to their folkloric traditions. The organizers even mentioned that they had to turn away many eager participants due to space constraints. This effort not only aimed to set a new record but also served as an initiative to revive and promote the Tajaraste, ensuring that this important aspect of Canarian culture continues to thrive.
