Grand Burning of the Sardine

The Grand Burning of the Sardine in Arrecife marks the end of the carnival with a parade full of tradition and satire. The funeral procession departs from Parque Islas Canarias, making its way through the city to Playa de la Rocar, where the symbolic burning of the sardine takes place. Along the route, the mourning masqueraders, carnival groups, and winning floats accompany the event in a mix of festive mourning and irreverent humor. This tradition bids farewell to the carnival with music, color, and a fire spectacle, turning the farewell into an unforgettable celebration.
