Tenerife Los Cristianos Events in Los Cristianos

The carnival in Los Cristianos is the most popular in the south of Tenerife

Los Cristianos is the host of one of the largest carnivals in Tenerife South and in 2018 over 35.000 people have participated in the main parade (El Coso Apoteosico del Carnaval de Los Cristianos).

Although the most popular carnival on the island is the one in Santa Cruz, many other towns and resorts celebrate their own carnivals, since Tenerife is a year-round tourist destination and any reason to have a party is happily accepted by everyone.

Los Cristianos Carnival Dates: 12 - 23 March 2020

2020 Carnival Theme in Los Cristianos: JAPAN

In 2020, the carnival in Los Cristianos will have a theme inspired by JAPAN and the Japanese culture.

It doesn't matter if you get dressed up or not, the carnival has a unique energy that spreads among all of its participants, so be sure to join in if you are in Tenerife at this time of the year.
