Sitges Carnival
16 February - 22 February
Carnival is arguably the most famous of Sitges' events. It takes place every year in celebration of Mardi Gras - the beginning of Lent. For a week the streets of Sitges are transformed into one long party, with costumes, floats and lots of colour. I have devoted a whole page to Carnival itself - for more details see my page on Sitges Carnival.
We recommend to check the Sitges tourist information's guide to the event for what's on, ticket prices and locations.

Sitges is a small town that draws a huge crowd for some of its internationally renowned events. As events such as the Film Festival and Carnival are very popular it is imperative to plan in advance if you want to come. Prices for accommodation will be high during these periods, so bear this in mind when booking tickets.
