Head to Carnaval Guaymas for the biggest party in Sonora. For Carnaval, Guaymas’ beachside malecon will be transformed into a party promenade. 2024’s theme is “La Magia de Sonora”.
The week of Carnaval, February 8 – 13, 2024, will be filled with the burning of the bad humor, crowning of the Carnaval Queen and Rey Feo (Ugly King), concerts, theater, poetry readings, fireworks, parades and all night parties.
From Saturday, February 10 to Tuesday, February 13, there will be four days of colorful parades featuring decorated floats, brightly masked and elaborately costumed people, marching bands, and pulsating dance music. Plus food and beer stands and elevated stages that will feature various live concerts. Thousands of onlookers, both young and old, will dance, cheer and throw confetti along the parade route, then make their way to the malecon where the party will continue with more live bands, food, drink and carnival rides.
The parade is scheduled to start at 4:00pm each day (though it often starts much later). The parade will starting on 20th at Serdan and travel down 20th to Blvd. Sanchez Taboada, ending in Colony El Rastro (there is road work on Serdan, so traffic may be difficult this year).
If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of experiencing Carnaval make your way into Guaymas and fiesta Mexican-style.
