Caleta de Fuste & Antigua Carnivals 2025: Dates & Events

The municipality of Antigua organizes each year 2 carnivals, under the same theme: the first one is in Antigua, and the second one is in the popular tourist resort of Caleta de Fuste.

In recent years the authorities in many municipalities in the Canary Islands (not just in Fuerteventura), have chosen to integrate the local community in choosing the theme of the event, so they sometimes organize a vote to select the allegory for the carnival.
