The Death of the King and Sitges Carnival/Carnaval 2011…

February 18, 2010/in Carnival / Carnaval, Events/by keith@gaysitgesguide.com

Last night the king was laid to rest and in a fitting tribute donated his Carnival Float to Gay Pride Sitges 2010….

Although a little colder and wetter than normal, the Carnival Spirit was amazing and a huge thank you to all of the organizers, associations, performers, business owners and security forces for ensuring this was one spectacular Carnival.

Sitges Carnival 2011 takes place a little later than previous years. The event kicks off on the 3rd of March with the Arrival of the King. The parade dates are Sunday the 6th and Tuesday the 8th of March 2011. And remember the Gay Carnival kicks off the week before on Sat 27th February 2011 at Bourbons. Just so you can plan for next year!!

All of the 5000+ photos of Carnival are available on Gay Sitges Guide via the link below.
