A multicultural carnival

Join in the festival fun this February at the Orihuela Costa Carnival and dance along with the parade through the streets of Playa Flamenca.

On Saturday, February 15 the Carnival, organised by the Orihuela Costa Festival Committee will begin at 12am with food, music and entertainment. There will be activities throughout the day but the highlight of the whole event will undoubtedly be the vibrant parade.

Orihuela Costa Carnival is a parade packed with fun family activities and live music and DJs.

Local dance groups and associations have been planning the parade and its entertainment for months, there will be live music, bands, bouncy castles and DJ’s all performing to the crowds to provide visitors with a lively and upbeat carnival atmosphere and of course, the whole day is child-friendly.

The Carnival has been called Orihuela Costa Carnaval Multicultural and organisers say they want it to be an example of cultural integration. The Parade starts at 5pm and sets off from the roundabout at Calle Nicolás de Bussi and Calle Pintor Ribera, heading in the direction of CEIP los Dolces. CFOC or Comisión de Fiestas Orihuela Costa have appealed for more sponsors to collaborate with the carnival, those interested should reach out to them via Facebook.

The Orihuela Costa Carnival is the second locally, following the spectacular Torrevieja Carnival whose celebrations started slightly earlier but will run the whole month with activities every weekend.
