Carnival season is a popular time for the Canary Islands in general - all the islands have big parties during this time and it's a great atmosphere for tourists.

The 2025 edition of the carnival in Teguise will be celebrated with events organized throughout the municipality, in La Villa de Teguise, Costa Teguise, as well as La Graciosa.

The southern Lanzarote resort of Playa Blanca invites residents and tourists to enjoy four intense days of Carnival animated by music, dances, parades and a variety of shows.

There are carnivals in Lanzarote in all the resorts and also in Arrecife, the island's capital, so the festival in Haria is not as huge and impressive in numbers compared to these larger ones.

The council of Tias, where Puerto del Carmen is located, usually organizes a celebration for St. Patrick's Day in Puerto del Carmen every year and it's a great event that draws a lot of crowds.
