Three of Lanzarote’s municipalities have announced the themes for next year’s carnivals, which will take place from mid-February to mid-March.
Arrecife’s big parade on Monday 16th February will be inspired by “Children’s TV of the 1980s” meaning that costumes based on shows such as The Smurfs, Dogtanian and Three Muskehounds and the classic anime Mazinger Z will get a good reception (UK shows like Supergran and Rentaghost perhaps not so much). Arrecife will then hold its Burial of the Sardine parade on Wednesday 18th February
Puerto del Carmen’s parade will take place on Saturday 21st February and the theme of the carnival will be “The Crazy 1920s”, so dig out those flapper costumes and join 83-year-old Juan Medina, who has been leading carnivals dressed as Charlie Chaplin for 40 years.
In Teguise, the carnival theme has been confirmed as “Beautiful Mexico and Beyond – the Day of the Dead”. The exact date of Costa Teguise’s parade has not yet been officially announced, but judging by previous years and the dates supplied it seems highly likely that it will take place on Saturday 7th March.
Other councils have not announced their carnival themes or dates yet, but if you want a rough idea of when they are likely to be, consult our Carnival Calculator.
