Carnaval To Commence In October

There are times when it seems like Tenerife's most important annual event never ends, because as soon as one year's Carnaval ends, then preparations for the next need to begin. It probably takes all year to stick on the feathers and sew the sequins on the costumes alone.

And, indeed, the councillor of Fiestas yesterday proposed that shopkeepers and official Carnaval groups hold a masked ball on Saturday, October 29 to "fire the starting pistol" for the official preparations for the 2006 Carnaval in February.

It is to be a grand, end of summer ball at which the 2006 Carnaval poster design will be presented and the organizers will award a prize of a holiday for two to Venice for the most original mask.

El Carnaval comienza en octubre
