The Canary Islands celebrate their day on 30 May, the anniversary of the first sitting of the Canary Parliament in 1983, and each island adds a holiday of its own. In 2027 it has 11 public holidays, plus one per island: the 9 shared by all of Spain and 2 of its own, Maundy Thursday (Thursday 25 March) and Monday after Assumption Day (Monday 16 August). The Canaries are the only region with three layers: 11 shared holidays, one per island set by Canary government decree, and each town's two local days, published in the Official Gazette of the Canaries. Tenerife's island holiday is Candlemas, 2 February; Gran Canaria's, Our Lady of the Pine, 8 September; Lanzarote's, Our Lady of the Volcanoes, 15 September. The islands run an hour behind the mainland, including at the clock change. In 2027 30 May falls on a Sunday and does not appear on the list.

Carnival Tuesday is a local holiday in many Canary towns, especially Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and its date changes every year with Easter. On La Palma the island holiday is Our Lady of the Snows, and on Fuerteventura Our Lady of the Rock. To know your days off you have to add up three lists, the region's, your island's and your town's, and the tool on this page does that by itself when you pick the town.
