The entrance costs 3€.
The coronation of the Carnival 2020 Queens will be on Saturday, February 1 at the Municipal Theater at 21:00 at a cost of 6€. In addition to the coronation of the Queens in this event, this year’s golden shield will be given to Conchi Úbeda Rebollo, an award that the Carnival Association gives to people who year after year, get involved with this party in a selfless way.
The next important date is Saturday, February 8 at the International Auditorium at 21:30 with the 12º national Drag Queen contest “Torrevieja city”.Presented by “the plexy” host of the pride of Madrid for many years, from here will come the Drag Queen of this year. The ticket is 7€ and it is about two hours long.
The most important event of the Carnival of Torrevieja 2020 is Sunday, February 16, the great parade of Carnival 2020, which as every year will tour the center of Torrevieja with all the troupes, queens and participants for taking the prize for the best costume of the year. This year as a novelty, a dance area with independent sound will be created where the troupes can convince the judges that their costume, exhibition and choreography are deserving of the gold award. The parade will begin at 17:30 and it will leave Maria Asunción Square, crossing the entire Ramón Gallud Street to Clemente Gosálvez Street. This year the awards are given in the Constitución Square but not at the end of the parade like other years, but on Saturday, February 22 at the end of the night parade.
You can not finish a Carnival without the traditional chirigotas and troupes. The Carnival closes witn this event on Saturday, February 29 at the Municipal Theater at 21:00. The music and satire are unleashed in the Theater with groups from all over the country, a fun way to hear the news combined with the best staging.
