| The poster for the 2025 Los Cristianos International Carnival, a reflection of the tribute to Venezuela |
The Los Cristianos International Carnival 2025, which will be held between 𝟐𝟎 and 𝟑𝟏 of March, has been confirmed with an official poster. On this occasion, the theme of the festivities is 'Venezuela, a carnival of rhythm, colour and joy' and the Tenerife artist Nareme Melián has created a work that fuses the union between the Canary Islands and Venezuela with easily recognisable images and motifs.
The confirmation of these dates also clarifies that their Coso Apoteosis (Carnival Main Parade) will be taking place on Sunday, 30 March 2025 (~4 pm from the Paloma Beach apartments in the Avda. Juan Carlos I to the Centro Cultural).
