Colmenar Viejo Carnival Full of Surprises You Don't Want to Miss

Colmenar Viejo is all set for the celebration of Carnival 2025, which will take place on Saturday, March 1. Considered one of the most anticipated festivities of the year, the city will be filled with costumes, music, and entertainment in an event that will bring together thousands of people.

The Councilor for Festivities, Nacho Aceña Alcázar, has highlighted the importance of this celebration for the residents: "The Carnival of Colmenar Viejo is a date marked in red on the calendar. Every year, our streets are flooded with joy and color with thousands of people in costumes who enjoy the parade and the multiple activities scheduled for all ages."

A Parade with Music and Festive Atmosphere

The parade will start at 6:00 p.m. from Avenida de Los Remedios, joined by three brass bands and three drum groups, which will liven up the route with their festive rhythms. The procession will pass through Glorieta del Yiyo and will travel along Calle San Sebastián to Plaza de la Constitución, where the route will split into two different proposals:

•  Children's Carnival: aimed at families, will continue along Calle Real to Plaza del Pueblo, where from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. there will be a large mobile disco with music and entertainment designed for the little ones.
•  Youth and Adult Carnival: will take Avenida de la Libertad and Calle Tomillo to end at the 'Las Huertas' Fairgrounds, which will open its doors at 7:00 p.m. There, the much-anticipated show The Big Show will be held, a production with special effects, animation, and a staging inspired by Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.

Music, Gastronomy, and Safety Until Dawn

The Carnival won't end early. The party at the Fairgrounds will continue until 5:00 a.m., with a line-up of DJ's and artists who will set the rhythm for the night, including Jose BG, Ismael Zidan, DMartino, Nacho Aguilar, J. Sanz, DJ Back, and Lovebites. Additionally, there will be a light and pyrotechnic show that will make this night a unique experience.

To ensure the comfort of attendees, the venue will feature a dining area, where four kiosks and two food trucks will be set up, offering a varied gastronomic selection.

Additionally, a Purple Point has been planned, which will be operational from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., where a team of professionals will offer information and assistance for the prevention of any type of violence or risky situation.

With a program full of activities, music, and entertainment, Colmenar Viejo is preparing to experience an unforgettable Carnival 2025, where fun and a good atmosphere will be guaranteed.
