15-21 June, 2026
World Tapas Day is celebrated globally every year on June 16 to pay tribute to one of Spain’s most iconic culinary traditions and to promote Spanish gastronomy around the world. In Canada, to make it easier for the public and participating restaurants to join and to give the initiative greater visibility, we are extending the celebration into Spain’s Tapas Week in Canada: a full week of activities and tastings in which participating restaurants will offer one cold tapa and one hot tapa throughout the week at an affordable, special price, bringing the spirit of World Tapas Day to our key cities and inviting Canadians to discover Spain through its flavours.
