Carnival Returns to Alicante! Vibrant Sábado Ramblero This Saturday, February 14, 2026

Carnival is back in Alicante! The vibrant Sábado Ramblero takes place this Saturday, February 14, 2026.

The city center is preparing for one of the carnival’s most joyful and crowded days — the legendary Sábado Ramblero. This Saturday, February 14, the city’s main promenade — Rambla de Méndez Núñez — will transform into a massive open-air stage bursting with color, music, costumes, and great vibes for all ages.

Day’s program:

• From 5:00 PM — Children’s Carnival (Carnaval Infantil): creative workshops including face painting (pintacaras by Brilli Brilli), making carnival accessories, and an exciting magic show by Guillermo Avilés (Divermagia) — blending classic and contemporary magic. A perfect family-friendly experience!
• From 10:00 PM until the early hours (until 4:00 AM) — the adult celebration: two stages running simultaneously, DJ sets, and live music. At one venue (near Casa de la Festa Manuel Ricarte), top DJs will take the decks: Alesmile, Da Rossi (Costa Sonora Festival), Sergio Salinas (Big Sound Festival), Fredy Vidal, and others. Electronic music, chart-topping hits, and dancing until dawn!

This is an open, joyful, and inclusive party — come dressed in your brightest costumes, soak up the positive energy, and immerse yourself in the authentic spirit of Spanish carnival. Rambla de Méndez Núñez traditionally draws tens of thousands of participants — and 2026 promises no exception!

Don’t miss Alicante’s biggest carnival day!

Join us with your family, friends, or partner — it’ll be hot (in the best possible way) on February 14!
