The Fiesta de La Rama stands out, celebrated every 4th of August, an ancient and unique tradition in the Canary Islands, declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, where thousands of people dance to the rhythm of bands while carrying branches to the sea as an offering.

These festivities, together with music, folklore and local gastronomy, make Agaete a place where traditions come to life and are shared with pride.
