Alicante Carnival
Alicante Carnival is the highlight of the city´s social calendar, and attracts crowds from all over Europe.
Lasting for three weeks, this spectacular event reaches its climax with amazing processions and parades through the main areas of La Rambla and El Barrio, when the whole city comes alive with colourful costumes, music and dancing.
Beginning on a more serious note with performances of the plays, Don Camal and Doña Cuaresma, this fabulous celebration ends with the bizarre funeral wake and burial of the sardine. Bringing luck and fortune to the city, a replica sardine plus carnival masks and make up are buried on the beach, and accompanied by locals dressed in black and carrying candles as a sign of mourning.
