If you love dogs and carnavals, then you should not miss the Dog Carnaval in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, one of the most unique and fun events of the year. The Dog Carnaval is a competition where dogs and their owners dress up in creative costumes and parade on a huge stage in front of a cheering crowd. The Dog Carnaval is part of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnaval, one of the biggest and best carnavals in Europe, that takes place every year from late January to mid-February.
Sunday February 4th At 12pm
The Dog Carnaval usually happens on a Sunday morning at Bélen María, the main venue of the carnaval celebrations this year. In 2024, the Dog Carnaval will be held on February 4th, as part of the theme “Carnavals of the World”, which will bring together different cultures and traditions from around the globe. The Dog Carnaval is open to all kinds of dogs, regardless of their size, breed or age. The only requirement is that they are well-behaved and comfortable with wearing costumes and being around other dogs and people.
Original And Themed Costumes
The competition has three categories: individual, couple and group. The participants have to register online in advance and pay a small fee. The costumes have to be original and related to the theme of the carnaval. The judges will evaluate the costumes based on their creativity, quality, humor and resemblance to the theme. The winners will receive prizes such as vouchers, products or services for their pets.
Music, Entertainment And Food
The Dog Carnaval is not only a contest, but also a celebration of love and respect for animals. It is a family-friendly event that attracts thousands of spectators, who enjoy watching the dogs show off their outfits and personalities. Many other pets also join the party, wearing their own fancy dress. The festive atmosphere is enhanced by music, entertainment and food stalls.
Support Charity
The Dog Carnaval is a great opportunity to have fun with your furry friends and to support a good cause. Part of the proceeds from the registration fees go to animal welfare organizations that work to protect and care for abandoned or mistreated animals. The Dog Carnaval also raises awareness about the importance of adopting and spaying or neutering pets.
