As every year, February is full of color, music and dance with the arrival of the Torrevieja Carnival. Declared of Provincial tourist interest since 2012, it is undoubtedly one of the best events of the year in the city, this year also with some new features.

The Carnival of Torrevieja 2020 will start next Friday, January 31 at 21:00 at the Municipal Theater with the special proclamation of every year.On this occasion (this is one of the novelties) the person in charge of opening the carnival will be the television presenter  Leticia Sabater, in addition to the opening show will be screened the film: Carnival of Torrevieja 2019. The entrance costs 3€. 

The coronation of the Carnival 2020 Queens will be on Saturday, February 1 at the Municipal Theater at 21:00 at a cost of 6€. In addition to the coronation of the Queens in this event, this year’s golden shield will be given to Conchi Úbeda Rebollo, an award that the Carnival Association gives to people who year after year, get involved with this party in a selfless way.

The next important date is Saturday, February 8 at the International Auditorium at 21:30 with the 12º national Drag Queen contest “Torrevieja city”.Presented by “the plexy” host of the pride of Madrid for many years, from here will come the Drag Queen of this year. The ticket is 7€ and  it is about two hours long.

The most important event of the Carnival of Torrevieja 2020 is Sunday, February 16, the great parade of Carnival 2020, which as every year will tour the center of Torrevieja with all the troupes, queens and participants for taking the prize for the best costume of the year. This year as a novelty, a dance area with independent sound will be created where the troupes can convince the judges that their costume, exhibition and choreography are deserving of the gold award. The parade will begin at 17:30 and it will leave Maria Asunción Square, crossing the entire Ramón Gallud Street to Clemente Gosálvez Street. This year the awards are given in the Constitución Square but not at the end of the parade like other years, but on Saturday, February 22 at the end of the night parade.
