Queen of Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival invited to inaugurate the parade for the 60th anniversary of the Notting Hill Carnival

The current Carnival Queen, Carla Castro, to open the Notting Hill Carnival parade.

The president of the Notting Hill Carnival in London, Ian Comfort, has invited the Queen of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival to open the parade in the British capital this year, coinciding with its 60th anniversary.

Comfort was on the island of Tenerife for the carnival, where he served on the jury for the Carnival Queen election gala and expressed his delight with the level of competition, stating that he hadn't seen anything like it in a long time, as he explained in statements to the online magazine 'The Showroom Mag' reported by Europa Press.

It would be, they explain, the current Queen, Carla Castro, who would have the honor of opening the London parade in this historic edition, its 60th anniversary. The event, scheduled for August 29-31, would place Castro, her costume, and her designers at the heart of one of the world's biggest festive stages, offering international exposure for the Tenerife brand and its main carnival, the Santa Cruz Carnival.

The Secrets of Tenerife's Oldest Castle

The Castle of San Miguel, the oldest in Tenerife

After 450 years of resisting pirates and the fury of a volcano, San Miguel Castle in Garachico celebrates four and a half centuries of history as the guardian of Tenerife's coast. Built in 1575, this rustic building has survived fires, attacks by Nelson's fleet, and the devastating eruption of 1706.

Garachico has the privilege of housing Tenerife's oldest fortification. San Miguel Castle, an imposing building that has just celebrated its 450th anniversary, stands as a silent witness to the era when the town was the main gateway to the island and the most prosperous port in the archipelago.

Originally built in 1575 to repel pirate and privateer raids, this defensive bastion is today a symbol of resilience. Located next to the famous natural pools of El Caletón, the building has survived fires and, above all, the historic volcanic eruption of Trevejo (Arenas Negras) in 1706. Although the lava buried the port and ended the area's economic dominance, the castle remained intact, untouched by the flow.

The mystery of the warden and a unique architecture

Unlike the fairy-tale castles of the Iberian Peninsula, San Miguel Castle is a rustic stone fortification designed for the modern warfare of its time. "It has no drawbridge or moat because its true enemy was the cannon," explain the cultural promotion experts of the municipality. Its walls, much thicker than usual, were designed to absorb the impact of heavy artillery.

Inside, the castle hides an unparalleled heraldic treasure: five coats of arms, a number unmatched by any other fortress in the Canary Islands. Among them, the most notable is that of Philip II, who authorized its construction to provide the island with a first-rate defence.

However, what most surprises visitors is an almost medieval figure that survives to this day: the chief warden. This lifetime position, currently held by Francisco Gutiérrez Hernández, is a historical rarity. It is believed that he may be the only warden of a castle in all of Spain, a tradition that astonishes even the high-ranking military officers who visit the town.

The flag that faced Nelson

The heritage value of San Miguel is not limited to its walls. The castle is the spiritual home of the Garachico Regiment, whose militia participated in the heroic defence against the attempted conquest by British Admiral Horatio Nelson in 1797.

Inside, one can admire one of the best-preserved flags of the period (dated 1760), which still bears the marks of gunpowder from combat. This piece, usually kept at the Almeida Military Museum, periodically returns to the fortress to commemorate the island's wartime past.

From Military Stronghold to Cultural Centre

The castle's modern history changed in 1959 when the Garachico Town Council purchased the property from the Army for the symbolic sum of 2,719.26 pesetas. Since then, thanks to the efforts of prominent mayors like Lorenzo Dorta, the building has been transformed into the Heritage Information Centre.

Today, San Miguel Castle not only offers the best views of the volcanic landscape and the historic centre from its parapet platform, but it also remains an architectural gem that attracts thousands of tourists. It is a living reminder that Garachico, despite natural disasters, never ceased to be a fortress.

The Carnival Route: Key Dates by Municipality

Carnival Main Parade in Los Cristianos 2024 - Photo Arona Town Hall

If anyone thought that the end of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival meant it was time to pack away their costumes, they were wrong. The island is preparing for another wave of celebrations that will sweep through various municipalities in the coming weeks. From San Cristóbal de La Laguna to the spectacle of the Los Cristianos International Carnival, Tenerife is still in carnival mode. The variety of themes and the overlapping dates in several locations across the island will require even the most enthusiastic carnival-goers to organize their schedule well. Tenerife proves, once again, that Carnival is not just a date on the calendar, but a feeling that refuses to end.

For those who don't want to miss a single dance, here is the itinerary for the coming weeks: 

Candelaria

The town will be dressed up from February 25th to March 1st under the evocative theme "Journey to Japan." It will be five days of festive intensity, with the main event taking place on Saturday, February 28th. That night, at 10:00 p.m., the venue next to the Town Hall will make history with a free concert by Óscar D'León. The "Sonero del Mundo" will be accompanied by El Morocho and the Acapulco and Caracas Latin Brother orchestras.

The closing event, on Sunday, March 1st, will have a strong family focus:

• 12:00 p.m.: Start of the children's parade "El Cosito".
• 2:30 p.m.: Grand Daytime Carnival with the Corinto Band Orchestra.
• 6:15 p.m.: Headlining performance by El Combo Dominicano.
• Finale: Burning of the Sardine and a grand finale with the Nueva Línea Orchestra

Los Cristianos

One of the most anticipated events in the south will take place from March 5th to 16th. The Los Cristianos International Carnival will dedicate twelve days to the theme of space. This event is establishing itself as the main festive epicenter of Arona, transforming the tourist hub into an intergalactic stage that attracts thousands of visitors each year.

The Daytime Carnival, in 2026, will be held on two key dates: March 7th and 14th. These daytime events are designed to make it easier for families and visitors to attend, with a program that includes concerts, workshops, and activities for all ages. For their part, the Opening Parade and the Grand Finale Parade once again become two of the main attractions, thanks to the procession of floats and the participation of troupes from various locations, showcasing the festival's inclusive spirit.

The program also emphasizes diversity and social participation, with initiatives such as the Inclusion Parade, aimed at bringing carnival to all groups, and the now-traditional Drag Queen Show, which adds a touch of irony and spectacle. The festivities will conclude on March 16th with the Burial of the Sardine, a symbolic act that bids farewell to the celebrations with a blend of satirical humor, popular tradition, and a communal atmosphere.

Granadilla de Abona

With the theme, ‘Beautiful and Beloved Mexico’, on Saturday, February 28, starting at 5:30 p.m., the highly anticipated Grand Carnival Parade will take place, beginning on Avenida Mencey de Abona and ending at Parque de Los Hinojeros. The parade will feature the comparsas Kuliquitacas del Sur, Guajeiros, Aborasau, Joroperos, and Cariocas, as well as the batucadas Baraberé and Tamatimba.

On Friday, March 6, the Plaza de la Cultura in San Isidro will host the Murguero Gathering, starting at 7:00 p.m., with performances by the murgas Guachinquietas, Diablos Locos, and Irónicos.

The grand finale will take place on Saturday, March 7th with the El Médano Daytime Carnival 2026, which will include the inaugural parade and children's day carnival from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with DJ David Pérez and Olga González; and from 5:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., in the Plaza de El Médano, Grupo Nueva Ilusión, Orquesta Los Ideales, DJ Fabrizio Salgado, El Combo Dominicano, Rafael Flores “El Morocho”, Orquesta Nueva Línea and The Boys Machine will take to the stage. The traditional Burial of the Sardine will also take place, starting at 7:00 p.m., departing from the town square and ending at the football field, thus bringing the 2026 Carnival to a close.

Santa Cruz bids farewell to a historic Carnival with no dates or theme set for next year

The final carnival party in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Sunday 22 Feb 2026

If the liturgical calendar, which sets the dates for Easter, were applied, the festivities would begin on January 8th, leaving no time to set up the stage.

The celebration of the third edition of the Senior Carnival in Plaza de la Candelaria, organized by the Government of the Canary Islands, brought a successful edition to a close, particularly due to the splendour of the second Daytime Carnival, which drew 425,000 people on Piñata Saturday. It evoked memories of epic events, such as Celia Cruz's Guinness World Record in 1987 - when 250,000 revellers danced outdoors - or Juan Luis Guerra's edition in 2019, when it was reported that more than 400,000 carnival-goers participated. Santa Cruz bid farewell to Carnival this Piñata Sunday. True to tradition, the festivities began in García Sanabria Park with a classic car show, whose roaring engines and honking horns then filled the air as people strolled through the heart of the city. Almost simultaneously, the Afilarmónica Ni Fú-Ni Fá was singing the final songs of the Latin Rhythms Carnival in the bandstand in Plaza del Príncipe.

Reflection for Next Year

Looking ahead to next year, the organizers have decided to take a period of reflection. If the traditional calendar, which is regulated by Holy Week, were followed, the opening ceremony would have to be held on January 8th, two days after the visit of the Three Kings, and the first phase of the children's carnival group competition would take place on January 15th. This would mean there wouldn't even be a week to set up the stage at the Tenerife International Centre for Trade Fairs and Congresses, where the Tenerife Children’s Play Centre (PIT) is open until the 6th.

Carnival 2027 Planning

The Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival organizers are taking their time with planning for next year. 

Generally in recent years, on the final day of the carnival, the Department of Festivals would announce the results of the vote to choose the theme for the following year's Carnival. This year, however, the organizer, Javier Caraballero, decided to embrace the common phrase that in Santa Cruz, it's Carnival all year round.

This is what the 2027 Carnival calendar would look like, if the traditional dates are maintained.

The reality is that the short time required for the next edition necessitates a reflection process, one in which even the mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez, wants to include other stakeholders connected to the festival, both representatives of groups and other long-time carnival participants.

The main decision will be whether to ratify a schedule that prevents the stage from being set up at the fairgrounds on time or to deviate, at least for one year, from the traditional calendar dictated by the Church. This would mean that the street carnival dances would be held after Ash Wednesday and opens the door to the desire of some, such as the Councillor for Festivals, to establish a fixed date for the carnival celebrations—a hypothesis that the mayor, who maintains that the festival should continue to follow the traditional calendar, would accept given the current circumstances.

The vote on the theme is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, while the organization is immersed in preparations for the May Festivals, including the Pope's visit to Santa Cruz de Tenerife on June 12th.

Along with structural decisions, such as the date of the celebration, other significant artistic matters remain to be decided. The Councillor for Festivals has set aside these decisions so as not to diminish the success of the Latin Rhythms Carnival.

The only point of significant disagreement this year centres on the format of the queen's election gala, which could lead to a change in artistic direction, currently held by Daniel Pagés. Javier Caraballero faces a difficult task in an election year. The search for a gala like the one at the 2023 Carnival dedicated to New York could mean the return of Enrique Camacho at the cost of jeopardizing the team that Caraballero has assembled this year. The Councillor for Festivals has a lot of work ahead of him to define the new edition, of which, for now, the only certainty is that it will be held at the beginning of 2027.

Santa Cruz despide un Carnaval histórico sin fechas ni motivo para el próximo año | El Carnaval de Santa Cruz 2027 podría no depender de la Cuaresma por primera vez en la historia | El Carnaval de Santa Cruz podría romper con la tradición: el motivo que obligaría a cambiar las fechas

José Manuel Bermúdez, Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife does not rule out exceptionally moving the Carnival to dates other than the traditional ones linked to Lent, for logistical reasons, although he clarifies that it would then return to its usual dates. He does not believe a Carnival as late as the middle of summer is likely, but he is considering "different dates."

2 Mar 2026: Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council has unanimously approved the proposal to designate the two local holidays in the city for 2027. The chosen dates are Tuesday, February 9, coinciding with the traditional Carnival / Shrove Tuesday, and May 3, the day on which the capital of Tenerife celebrates its Founding Festivities. Nevertheless, there is still no decision on the dates for the celebration of the 2027 Carnival.

NB: This could all turn out to be a storm in a teacup, because this is NOT without precedence, because in 2008, the carnival was FOUR DAYS earlier. The normal dates of carnival in the streets in 2027 would be Fri 5 Feb - Sun 14 Feb. In 2008, they were Fri 1 Feb - Sun 10 Feb. In 2027, they're concerned about an inauguration on Friday, 8 Jan 2027, but the equivalent date in 2008 would therefore have been Friday, 4 Jan 2008 - two days BEFORE the Three Kings. The PIT has been held for 34 years; the congress centre had opened and used for galas in 1996 and I don't recall this fuss being made then.

This carnival is one of the earliest ever, starting only 2 days after Los Reyes.

The year 2027 is an important anniversary for Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, as it is forty years since the first time the carnival had a theme - in 1987 that first theme was "Rome". That was also the year that Santa Cruz Carnival got into the Guinness Book of Records when the late Celia Cruz with the Sonora Matancera and Billo's Caracas Boys led the line up of an unforgettable Carnival Tuesday night with more than 240,000 attendees. (That number was since greatly exceeded, but not officially recorded.)

In 1987 the Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, for the first time, had a theme and listed here are all of the themes and carnival queens since then.

Los Gigantes Carnival 2027

The start of carnival in Los Gigantes is usually on the Friday ten days after Shrove Tuesday, which would be on Friday 19 Feb 2027. Their Carnival Main Parade is usually held on the Sunday, which would be 21 Feb 2027.

Los Cristianos Carnival 2027

As ever, we won't even guess when Los Cristianos carnival will be held. Once available, the dates can generally be found within the relevant year's Calendario de Fiestas del Municipio (Calendar of the municipality's festivals). However ... Even if Arona publish dates ahead, they are in the habit of changing the dates at the very last minute and these changes have not been advertised nor reported in the media, so it requires constant manual watching of their site (above) to know.

Why is the Last Weekend of Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival Called Piñata Weekend?

At Carnival on Piñata Saturday 2026

The term "Piñata Weekend" originates from an old custom that prolonged Carnival beyond Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, well into Lent.

Carnival officially ended on Ash Wednesday, and Santa Cruz already mourned during the Burial of the Sardine. But the festivities still have one last push with Piñata Weekend. After Carnival comes Lent, a time historically dedicated to reflection, from which these last two days of celebration are taken. But what is the origin of its name?

The term "Piñata Weekend" originates from an old custom that extended Carnival beyond Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. "In various parts of Spain and in the Canary Islands, the festivities continued during the first days of Lent, in what was known as Little Carnival or Piñata Carnival," explains Julio Torres, a historian from La Laguna, citing researcher Pedro Manuel Grimón González.

Italian Pignatta

The word comes from the Italian word pignatta (fragile pot), because it was traditional that before the start of Lent, a period of fasting and abstinence, the game of breaking a clay pot or pignatta filled with sweets was celebrated.

"The piñata resembled a large orange, covered in colourful fabrics and adorned with numerous colorful ribbons. One of these ribbons opened the mechanism through which the objects inside fell out: nuts, flour, candies, gofio (a type of flour), eggs, sweets, and perhaps a small mouse or rabbit."

Piñata Dance

The piñata was broken as part of a choreographed dance, the Piñata Dance: "Couples began to dance, circling the piñata. The leader kept order so that all the couples took turns pulling the ribbons. When the piñata broke, the music stopped."

Today, carnivals like the one in Santa Cruz de Tenerife maintain Piñata Saturday and Sunday as days of intense festive activity. These dates are located after the Burial of the Sardine and are part of the calendar that marks the end of the celebrations in the city, but the festivities continue in other parts of the island.

¿Por qué se llama Piñata al último fin de semana del Carnaval?

(A pignatta (or pignata) is an Italian term for an earthenware cooking pot, historically used to cook beans in fireplaces. It is the origin of the Spanish word "piñata", referring to the fragile, clay containers used in European and, later, Mexican celebrations. It's derived from the Latin pinea ("pine cone"), referencing the original shape of these pots.)

Carnival Main Parade in Santa Cruz 2026

Carnival Queen in the Carnival Main Parade in Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2026

Santa Cruz Carnival reached its climax on Shrove Tuesday, 17 Feb 2026, with a massive four-hour parade. More than a hundred groups, led by the Queen and her ladies-in-waiting, participated to the beat of batucadas and Latin rhythms in the grand, multi-coloured parade that filled Santa Cruz.

Radiant sunshine accompanied yesterday's grand, multi-coloured parade featuring over a hundred groups and organizations from the Santa Cruz Carnival, the queens, and their courts of honour. Thousands of people packed the stands and seating provided by the Santa Cruz City Council along Francisco la Roche and Marítima avenues to enjoy a spectacular afternoon.

The Coso, an unmissable event and one of the most traditional and popular parts of Tenerife's most internationally renowned festival, was a resounding success. It began promptly at four in the afternoon and was characterized by high participation from both the Carnival groups and the thousands of spectators who gathered to enjoy the spectacle.

Once again, the large number of tourists and visitors who wanted to take advantage of their stay on the island to witness one of the most important hallmarks of Carnival was striking.

Comparsas, rondallas, murgas, musical groups, dance troupes, floats, decorated cars, Carnival characters, and the queens, accompanied by their ladies-in-waiting, dazzled with their costumes and performances, accompanied throughout the parade by music, batucadas, and murga marches, in a parade that signalled the approaching end of the quintessential Santa Cruz de Tenerife festival.

As a major novelty this year, the popular group Las Celias opened the parade, celebrating 30 years of participation in the Carnival. Its members wanted to pay special tribute to their president and founder, Javier García, who was unable to attend the festivities. To commemorate this happy anniversary, the group brought out every single costume they have worn throughout these thirty years, creating a live exhibition in a moving parade.

Following Las Celias, the Afilarmónica Nifú Nifá (the grandfathers of carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife) took to the streets and was greeted with applause, demonstrating the enormous affection that Carnival veterans inspire wherever they participate.

The winners of the Costume Contest and the comparsa Bahía Bahitiare then gave way to the adult Carnival Queen, Carla Castro, with her iconic costume.

Following the monarch, the various Carnival groups paraded, including the ladies-in-waiting, the children's and adult queens, and their respective courts. 

Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the parade is the opportunity to observe up close and in broad daylight the work of the designers and their teams, who create spectacular costumes worn not only by the Carnival Queen candidates but also by the groups, troupes, and satirical musical groups, brimming with originality, which manage to surprise everyone each year.

The strong family atmosphere of the parade was evident once again throughout the entire route, both among the participating groups and the large crowds who gathered to applaud the creativity and talent of the Carnival performers.

The Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council installed a total of 6,500 free chairs for the public along the entire parade route, in addition to the bleachers set up along the city's coastline, with a capacity for another 1,300 people.

Many of the seats were filled by tourists, largely from the south and north of the island, where they are spending their holidays. According to the Santa Cruz City Council, around 250 buses carrying tourists arrived in the city yesterday to enjoy the Coso Apoteosis (Grand Parade).

The parade proceeded smoothly and without incident, in a family-friendly atmosphere, with the haze almost dissipated and the participants showing off their elaborate costumes and designs amidst dancing and singing. After about four hours of enjoyment, as the sun began to set, this grand parade came to an end, serving as a prelude to a grand finale that promises to be equally spectacular. Today, Wednesday, the event will take place at 10:00 p.m., when the popular Burial of the Sardine will begin, officially bidding farewell to Carnival, although there will still be one last weekend to enjoy before its final closing next Sunday.
