Click HereThe Carnival celebrations in Santiago de la Ribera, in the municipality of San Javier, are among the noisiest and most colourful in the Region of Murcia to celebrate the beginning of Lent, and this year the fiestas culminate in the Grand Parade on Sunday 1st March.
This is traditionally the last main Carnival parade in the Region, and the aim is to attract as many peñas (Carnival troupes) as possible from other areas for one last chance to wave the feather boa before Lent begins and brings with it, at least in theory, 40 days of abstinence. Taking place in the afternoon rather than the evening, the parade is always hugely popular among expats and visitors to the municipality as well as those who live in San Javier and Santiago de la Ribera, and photographers also relish the chance to photograph the revellers in the sunlight of the Mar Menor rather than in darkness!
The day before the grand parade a new event is taking palce for the first time, the first edition of a national Drag Queen competition. This is taking place in the main fiesta marquee at 23.00 and registration can be undertaken via the webpage of the association of peñas: carnivaldelaribera.com
