The Canyelles Carnival stands out for being the first major festival of its kind held in the Garraf region, starting a week ahead of the more massive celebrations in Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltrú.
The central day, which took place on February 9, 2026, included the broadcast of the satirical sermon by King Carnestoltes, a key element that precedes the subsequent Rua, the main event featuring costumes and troupes.
The Canyelles Carnival is traditionally the first to ignite the flame of the party throughout the entire Garraf region.
This celebration marks the beginning of an intense carnival season in the area, which also includes notable events such as the security deployment of over a thousand personnel for the Sitges Carnival and the opening of festivities in Vilanova with the Shawl Dances and the Competitions.
