Maspalomas Carnival
Maspalomas becomes the epicenter of Carnival celebrations, where it hosts highly anticipated events cherished by Carnival enthusiasts, such as the Queen's Gala, parades, festivals, Canine Carnival, Drag Queen Gala, Sardine Rescue, and the Grand Carnival Parade.
Grand Carnival Parade Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The Grand Carnival Parade of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one of the most eagerly anticipated events on the carnival calendar. Thousands of revelers in costumes, along with a hundred decorated cars and floats, accompany the Queen, the Drag Queen, and the Grand Lady to the rhythm of music. It is the event that bridges Carnival with tradition and the public: the most spontaneous and massive one that winds through the streets of the island's capital.
Gala Drag Queen Las Palmas
One of the most entertaining events of the city's carnival. The most provocative act of the Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The connection between the stage and the audience is magical. It is now a draw for the city that stems from the collective's fight to advocate for equality, transgression, spectacle, and harmony, and it has come to demonstrate that Las Palmas de Gran Canaria embodies respect and coexistence.
Winter Pride Maspalomas
Winter Pride is a celebration of diversity and authenticity. Maspalomas Pride is a proud celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, held annually in the beautiful resort town of Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. This event is a true showcase of the love, unity, and acceptance that the community stands for, and a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a truly unforgettable and inclusive celebration.
