The Gala of Election of the Queen is one of the celebrations with more editions in the Carnival, where the woman who will be titled as the Queen of the Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is chosen, being representative of this one until the edition of the next year. Their bright and complex costumes are a visual spectacle.
The great parade is the biggest carnival event. In 2017, more than a hundred floats accompanied the Queen and her four bridesmaids, of course the Drag Queen, Drag Sethlas, the rhythm of the music of the batucadas and the steps that marks the comparsas and the murgas. All the people puts on costumes for this event. This year the topic was“ the Everlasting Spring”.
The burial of the sardine puts an end to the Carnival. The sardine expires and the Carnival too. In Las Canteras beach it is burnt and there is a fireworks show. We have lots of fun and we are lready thinking about our next year costume!!!
