The “cascarotas” and “mascaradas” have been in operation since January, the ones from Malerre have come in succession and little by little the carnival parties have been celebrated here and there. This year, however, the main dates are very late; on Candelaria Day the Bear woke up, but has decided to look at the moon and continue sleeping for a while longer. February 27th is Fat Thursday and March 4th is Carnival Tuesday. That’s when most of the fiestas will end, the dolls that end up in the fire are a representation of it. Until the end of March, however, we will not say goodbye to the period of libertinage and liberation.

Here is the 2025 Carnival calendar. But remember that the carnival is usually a bit naughty, that where the party is going there is no connection in the short grass. Make sure to confirm the celebrations before going anywhere, and that the expectations are not always met... but that’s what we like about the carnival, isn’t it?

Note for the following: Remember that this calendar is to be used as a reference, because at the time of publication of the calendar we have not been able to confirm several celebrations, since many carnivals are organized at the last hour (because sometimes it is not even known that it will be done until it happens...), so confirm it before going anywhere. If you want to correct or complete something, leave the answer below. Have fun at the carnival!
