Sunday 3 March 2019 is the first of the Carnaval de día (Daytime Carnival) events in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with live music and other entertainments taking place in the streets and squares of the city from the middle of the day onwards. Below are the events taking place on the three main stages in the Plaza del Príncipe, the Avenida Francisco La Roche (which everybody knows as the Avenida Anaga and that fit better in the boxes) and the Plaza de La Candelaria. Once more, where possible, we've added links.
