The seventh edition of the Tenerife Summer Carnival was presented this Thursday at the Costa Martiánez Tourist Complex, which will serve as the setting for the election gala for the King of Carnival, one of the high points of a carnival that returns to the streets to share the joy of one of the celebrations of the identity of Puerto de la Cruz.
There will be two nights of Carnival in which the carnival will be lived in all its splendour, which will be the gala on Friday, September 9; the candidates for King of Carnival will be presented Friday, September 2. For this edition, the number of candidates has risen to 14, dressed in fantasies that will undoubtedly honour what is already a recognized festival on our islands. "In addition, the live broadcast by Canarian Television will give even more splendour and resonance to a monarch who will put himself at the service of the city to continue defending one of its quintessential festivals," said Councillor Alberto Castilla.
On Wednesday, September 7, along with the election of the children's throne, the Carnival Ambassador will be elected, "a figure that was born to represent and be the image of our Carnival in all those events for the promotion of a carnival that is increasingly important in terms of promoting tourism in our city”, stressed the mayor.
