For the fourth year running, Puerto de la Cruz is holding a Carnaval de Verano (Summer Carnival), on the 12, 13, 14 and 15 September. This year it will be without the Mascarita Ponte Tacón (Men's High Heels Marathon). The decision was made, together with the organizer of this event, Juan Pedro Hernández, better known as Lupita, to "not tarnish" a celebration that in the last two summer editions had a low participation. (It is, however, the biggest event of the winter carnival in Puerto de la Cruz, held in February / March.)Events begin on Thursday, September 12 with the carnival catwalk, bringing together carnival designers, as well as 9 queens of the different carnivals of Tenerife, along with the election of the first King of Carnival. On Friday 13 events move to the Lago Martiánez, where carnival groups will animate a fun night of costume contests and summer dances. On Saturday 14 the fiesta del flotador (pool float party) that has been so successful in previous editions, will be held at the Lago Martiánez. The morning of Sunday 15 will be for the kids with the concert by Ariann, the most prominent young influencer in Spain. In the afternoon, carnival groups, together with the King and his court will parade.
