This Saturday, March 8, the party continued with the Great Carnival Parade, which ran along the Avenida de Las Playas from Barcarola to Fariones Playa starting at 5:00 p.m. Thousands of people gathered to enjoy the parades, costumes and festive atmosphere. The celebration moved at 9:00 p.m. to the Plaza del Varadero, where a lively open-air dance enlivened by the orchestras Mambo Latino, La Mekánica by Tamarindos and Maquinaria Band, got all attendees dancing until the early hours of the morning.

On Friday, March 7, the traditional parade of Los Buches kicked off the celebrations. With the collaboration of the Parranda Marinera Los Buches, the elders of the municipality, the Association for Women Mararía and the Cabildo de Lanzarote, the tour departed at 5:30 p.m. from Playa Chica in the direction of Plaza del Varadero. There, families and culture lovers enjoyed piñata games and traditional expressions of Lanzarote.
