FIMAR 2025 - The International Sea Fair Las Palmas de Gran Canaria | 6-8 June
FIMAR 2025, the International Sea Fair, La Feria Internacional del Mar will take place between 6-8 June in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The nautical and marine-maritime sector meets again during the 14th edition of this popular event, in the Muelle Sanapú, near the Poema del Mar aquarium and the Onda Atlántica footbridge. The fair is dedicated exclusively to the world of the seas, oceans, and the marine-maritime sector. Exhibitors from various sectors related to the sea will meet in the capital of Gran Canaria.
In 2025 edition, the International Sea Fair focuses on the ‘sustainability of the Canary Islands coastline’, raising awareness among citizens, and the public and private sectors that focus their activity on the sea, about the compatibility of economic and social promotion actions on beaches and the coast with environmental conservation and the care of biodiversity.
Continuing with a well-established format, Fimar 2025 will offer visitors, with free admission, a broad list of public entities (coastal municipalities are also invited) and private firms (dedicated to nautical, maritime sports, fashion, and the entire marine maritime sector) whose purpose is centered around the Atlantic. In addition, a broad panel of experts and specialists from the academic world will, with their presentations in designated spaces, define the event’s informative nature.
In addition to the exhibition area, the fair’s focal point, Sanapú will also feature an area specifically reserved for nautical activities (the water surface is the centre of attention for visitors every year), a children’s activities area, and a food court. The program will also include the usual tours of the port area by tourist boats, and boat trips around the dock’s bay.

EL QUINTETO – Un viaje musical inolvidable
El Quinteto is synonymous with originality and sonic richness. This ensemble, comprised of Candelaria González (vocals), Francisco García (flutes), Héctor González (vocals, guitar, and cuatro), Ruimán Martín (double bass), and Fernando García (percussion), stands out for its ability to explore and fuse musical styles from different cultures. Their repertoire ranges from the depths of Afro-Peruvian music to the delicacy of French chanson, as well as tangos, boleros, Venezuelan merengues, and fados.
The sonic journey they propose knows no borders. They revive Latin American rhythms such as landó, Colombian pasillo, and Cuban son, while paying homage to Canarian folklore with hints of lima and polkas. Each performance is a tribute to cultural diversity and an invitation to discover the musical fusion that unites the world.
With respect and boldness, El Quinteto offers a unique experience, where music flows like a bridge between traditions and emotions. A show that promises to move and surprise those who enjoy it.
