Carnival in Maspalomas 2026
From March 10 to 22, 2026, the south of Gran Canaria will once again come alive with vibrant hues and energetic celebrations: the International Maspalomas Carnival returns! This year’s enchanting theme is “The World of the Circus.” Think of bright‑eyed clowns, graceful acrobats, imaginative costumes and magical surprises, all under the warm Canarian sun.
For twelve days, Playa del Inglés transforms into a festive stage where people from around the world gather to celebrate life. The streets fill with music and dance, the atmosphere is joyful and spirited, and everyone is welcome, regardless of age, background or outfit. Because that is the magic of carnival: freedom, connection and joy.
Highlights to Look Forward To
The Maspalomas Carnival is known for its openness, extravagance and creative expression. A few signature events make a lasting impression every year:
- Family Day with Children’s Parade (March 15): A cheerful day for young and old, full of colorful costumes and spontaneous smiles. A beloved part of the program since 2025.
- Grand Parade (March 21): A vibrant procession of dancers, floats and revelers filling the streets of Maspalomas with rhythm and magic. Here you can feel the heart of Maspalomas beating, celebratory, expressive and full of love for life.
- Entierro de la Sardina (March 22): The traditional burial of the sardine marks the end of carnival and symbolizes the farewell to winter, a colorful, poetic ritual that makes room for spring.
