ARCHIVED - Dates for every town Carnival in the Region of Murcia 2022
This is the definitive list of all the municipalities in Murcia that will celebrate Carnival in February 2022, the ones that will postpone and the ones that have cancelled
The end of February and beginning of March is normally the time when towns and cities all over Spain celebrate carnival because it’s 40 days before Easter. For the last year or two, lots of carnival celebrations have had to be cancelled because of Covid.
Some ‘Carnavales’ have now been reinstated for 2022, but others have been postponed until later in the year.
The exact time when Carnival is held changes depending on the dates of Easter each year. This year, the official dates are between Friday February 25 and Wednesday March 2 (Ash Wednesday), the day on which the 40 days of Lent before Easter begin.
Here is a complete list of all the municipalities in the Region of Murcia that are holding their Carnival celebrations and the ones that are being put off until the summer.
Dates of Murcia Carnivals in February and March 2022
