Santa Cruz Carnival in 2019 was the last that was celebrated with complete normality; Carnival in 2020, if it narrowly missed being curtailed by the start of the pandemic, was disrupted by calima and high winds; Santa Cruz Carnival in 2021 was virtual only and Santa Cruz Carnival 2022 is yet to be held in June. So, IF - BIG IF - carnival goes ahead as normal in 2023, these are the dates when it should take place, based on the previous timetables from many previous years. Obviously, still subject to confirmation or change.
