Ride a carnival float in Gran Canaria

Carnival is the biggest party of the year in Gran Canaria. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and in Maspalomas, the Grand Parades bring together huge crowds, comparsas and floats — and you can be on one of them.

ISLACARNAVAL sells tickets for the floats directly from their organisers: you see the price per person, what's included (open bar, soft drinks, DJ, live music, T-shirt, costume…) and the meeting point. Pay online with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and show the QR code on your phone to get on board.
