Mardi Gras

Benidorm's 'Ministry of Fun,' the Council of Fiestas has announced the details of the prizes for this year's Carnaval, or Mardi Gras parade. As usual the streets will be packed and there'll be a riot of colour and fun as the parade starts at 11.30 PM on Saturday 21st February, at the Calles Colón and Barranquet intersection.

With music, dancing, acrobats and fire jugglers everybody is sure to have a rip roaring good time and there will be prizes of €1500 for the best fancy dressers.
