What it is

Carnaval de Las Palmas explained

Drag Queen Gala, murgas and a parade that ends on Las Canteras beach; the most theatrical carnival on Gran Canaria.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Las Palmas tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
