SUMMARY:Agüimes Carnival 2025
DESCRIPTION:\nIn 2025, the Agüimes Carnival will once again have a three-week program. The Inaugural Parade will be held on Saturday 22 February, while the final of the long-awaited and traditional Murga Competition will take place on Friday 28. On March 4, the Ancient Carnival Tuesday will be celebrated and on the 5th Don Carnal will be bid farewell with the mourning he deserves at the Burial of the Sardine. Thursday 6 March will be a holiday in the municipality, prior to the big weekend in which the streets of the historic centre will host the multitudinous Day Carnival.\nThe allegory for the festivities is ‘videojuegos’, videogames\nHighlights:\nSaturday 22 FEB:12:00 Announcing carnival parade from plaza del Rosario\n13:00 Burning of la Esquila (fish) in front of the church of San Sebastiàn\n20:30 Inaugural procession from the municipal swimming pool parking lot.\n21:00 Pregón, the proclamation and the burning of the Spirit of the Lizard23:00 Verbena, a lively street party with orchestra Furia Joven and Grupo Arena\n03:30 Distribution of hot bread with oil and garlic at Plaza del Rosario.\n“This delicacy (the bread of Agüimes), was traditionally distributed hot, spread with oil and garlic, to the carnival-goers who were still standing when the “dawn dance” came to an end, that is, the dance that ended at daybreak. This custom was so relaxed that, despite being offered free of charge in the societies, the bakeries of the town opened their doors in the early morning after a great dance to offer the carnival-goers such traditional food”\n‘The Carnival of Agüimes: Notes for the history of the outstanding carnivals of Gran Canaria’, volume 1, by Ramón Guimerá Peña\nSunday 23 FEB:\n11:00 Queen Child street parade with her court.
