Carnival Calendar 2024
- The shells and the masks have started almost the year and follow other carnival parties. The earliest are held in January, but this year most carnivals come very soon. Thursday 8 February will be Gordo Thursday and Tuesday 13 Carnival. Beware! It is Tuesday 13, and according to a Spanish proverb, the days on which he adapts on Tuesday and 13 do not fit to marry or embark. Otherwise, Tuesday's carnival is bad or worse, and the representation of it is the dolls that end up in the fire. Sadly, it is the last day of carnival in many places, the end of the season of libertinage and libertism. But more than thinking about the end, it's better to enjoy the possibilities of party and dance in that interval.
Here's the base calendar of the 2024 carnivals. But remember that carnivals are usually a little naughty, that you can't tie the short meadows of the party. Please note, therefore, that before going to any place it is appropriate to confirm the celebrations, and that, nevertheless, the forecasts are not always met... but that is what we like about carnivals, right?
In 2024 the main dates of the carnival will be:
- 8 February, Gordo Thursday, Egan zuri, Orakunde, Urdelardero, Emakunde, Otsaliko, Sasikoipetsu,...
- February 9, Friday, Friday Delgado, Caldereta regular...
- 10 February, Saturday, Carnival, Zaldunita Eve...

- February 12, Monday, Carnival Monday, Monday...

Note: Remember that this calendar is of reference, because when publishing the calendar we were unable to confirm some celebrations, as many carnivals are organised at the last minute (sometimes it is not known what will be done...), so we could not confirm before going anywhere.

We are at the gates of carnivals and carnivals. Like every year, immersed in this seasonal era that remains physically cyclical. Although it's still winter, it's when we start to smell its end.

Urtero legez Euskal Herria Plaza eskatu du Tolosako Txosna Batzordeak, baina salatu duenez, udalak aldebakarrez erabaki du txosna gunea Plaza Berrira lekualdatzea.
Herri batzuetan urtero moduko inauteriak izango direla adierazi da, beste zenbaitetan moldatu egin dituzte eta beste batzuetan bertan behera gelditu dira inauteriak. Sarrera honetan beste urteetan ospatu izan diren errituak zerrendatu ditugu, baina horrek ez du esan nahi aurten... [+]
Haratustea baino luzeago egin zaie tolosarrei inauteririk gabeko urtea. Hilaren 24tik martxoaren 1a bitarte berreskuratuko dituzte aurten festak. Karrozak prestatzeko bi aste baino izan ez dituzten arren, aurten ere kaleak hartuko dituzte. Txosnak eta barrakak ere urteroko... [+]
Koronabirusa dela eta izandako etenaldiaren ostean, aurten berriz ospatuko dituzte inauteriak Tolosan. Ostiralean emango ditu zehaztapen gehiago Tolosako Udalak.
