Phe Festival is consolidated as one of the best cultural events in the Canary Islands according to the Contemporary Foundation

We share news that fills us with motivation: the recent report ‘The Best of Culture 2025’ from the Contemporary Foundation, an annual study compiled from the assessments of nearly a thousand cultural sector professionals from across Spain, has once again placed Phe Festival in the reference positions as a cultural event and experience on the islands. In this edition, the festival regains second place in the regional ranking, a position we receive with the joy of knowing that the path taken so far continues to arouse the interest and positive appreciation of experts.

A future-oriented path

What excites us most about this recognition is not just the current position, but our consistency. Since our very first editions, Phe Festival has had the privilege of appearing in this prestigious Observatory of Culture. This permanence is a reflection of the project's maturity and an endorsement of our commitment to freshness, sustainability, and quality as hallmarks for a decade. Appearing year after year in the report from the Contemporánea Foundation, a barometer based on the criteria of hundreds of professionals and managers from across the country, drives us to continue working with the same rigor and the same excitement with which we began.

Puerto de la Cruz: a unique cultural ecosystem

This achievement by Phe Festival cannot be understood in isolation. We are part of a bold and consolidated cultural strategy in Puerto de la Cruz, a municipality that has positioned itself as an undisputed benchmark in the Canary Islands in this field. It is a satisfaction to share the spotlight in this ranking with the Mueca International Street Art Festival, whose contribution to the city's cultural environment is fundamental, along with other festivals throughout the year. Together, we demonstrate that Puerto de la Cruz is a vibrant destination, where culture is the engine that connects us and projects us outward.

The true engine: our community

If there's one thing we're clear on, it's that rankings are analyzed by experts, but festivals are truly validated by the public. This professional recognition is, in reality, an award for everyone who chooses Phe Festival every year to enjoy, discover, and share. The complicity of our audience, the one that fills the venue, participates in the parallel activities, and breathes culture in every corner of the city, is what truly gives meaning to our dedication and is the reason why critics highlight the vitality of what happens in Puerto de la Cruz throughout the year. We move forward with our sights set on this year's edition, with the responsibility to live up to this recognition and, above all, to our audience. Thank you for being part of this journey!
