The fiestas of Carnival in Totana are organised by the Federación de Peñas and most of the events take place in the Parque Municipal Marcos Ortiz municipal park, where there is a large open-air auditorium and plenty of space to mill around and enjoy the various entertainments on offer. A marquee will be set up in the park, and on the main days of the Carnival bars will be open in the marquee.
There are two main parades, the first of which is on Saturday 14th February and features the Totana peñas (participating troupes) only, while the second a week later on 21st February includes peñas invited from across the Region of Murcia, as well as the local ones.
In addition, there is a morning children’s parade on 15th in the morning, with the rest of the day featuring plenty of entertainment for the younger generation.
