The Events

Events kick off with the Mantillas night, the traditional start of the gay Carnival on Tuesday. The King and Carnival (the main protagonist of the event) arrives on Thursday, followed by a series of epic parades and parties.

Costumes

Costumes are essential. Many visitors spend months planning their outfits. Over the past few years, more and more visitors are dressing up! You have been warned.  Plaza Industria, home to Parrots Pub is transformed into a party zone with camp carnival music playing non-stop from 7 pm until late.

The Main Parades

Sunday’s and Tuesday’s parades are the two signature events. Enjoy elaborate floats, costumes and performances along the seafront as more than 2,000 participants make their way through the village.

The route is as follows: Av Sofia Ribera Promenade (sea side), La Fragata, Ribera promenade (mountain side), Bassa Rodona, Plaza del Pou Vedre, Espalter, Sant Francesc and Cap de la Vila.

Sunday’s Parade is at 7.30 pm and Tuesday’s Parade is at 9 pm.
