Children’s Involvement: A Heartwarming Tradition
The involvement of children in the Carnaval is a heartwarming aspect of the celebration. Each year, young participants aged 6 to 13 engage in rehearsals, learning traditional dances that bring joy to the community. This year, 12 lucky children will perform during the Carnaval infantil on March 3. How does this tradition shape the future of the festival?
Streamlined Parade: Enhancing the Experience for Attendees
This year, the organizers are focusing on quality by reducing the number of comparsas in the parade. This change aims to create a more enjoyable experience for attendees, ensuring that each performance is memorable. The theme, inspired by American politics, adds a contemporary twist to the traditional festivities. What will this unique theme bring to the celebration?
Prizes and Competitions: Adding Excitement to the Festivities
The Carnaval also features exciting competitions, including a bed race on March 2, with cash prizes for the best floats and comparsas. The best float will receive 700 euros, while the top comparsa will earn 500 euros. This competitive spirit adds an extra layer of excitement to the festivities.
