Everyone wants to know the carnival dates!
Lanzarote carnival is a magical time to be on the island, with marching bands, floats, dancers and lots of fun and frolics. Anyone can join in! Each area of the island has its own carnival and parade, and they all choose a theme each year. You can stick with the theme if you want to, but you can also go your own way and do something different. The drink of carnival is the Cuba Libre – Rum and Coke, with a twist of lime.
While you’re waiting for the dates for the next one (We’ll post them the moment they are confirmed) enjoy this video explaining what carnival is all about. Just click the image:
