NOCHE DE LA CANCIÓN DE LA RISA

The Carnaval in Garachico 2026 has been postponed. The events originally scheduled for this weekend will now take place on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of March. This decision was made due to weather forecasts predicting challenging conditions for the weekend, making it difficult to ensure safety and logistics. The postponement was agreed upon with local carnival groups and CEIP Antonio del Valle. If you haven't finished your costume, you have a few more days to prepare!
