The town of les Roquetes, located in Sant Pere de Ribes, kicks off its Carnival highlights this weekend of February 13, 2026, featuring the traditional Arribo parade.

The Garraf region is set to experience the peak of its festive calendar. In les Roquetes, the community gathers for the Arribo, a satirical and colorful parade that defines the local spirit of the season.
Cultural heritage plays a significant role this year, with special focus on the centennial melody El Turuta, which has transitioned from military origins to a popular Carnival anthem. Other events like the Merengada have already started to draw crowds in the surrounding areas.
Organizers are closely monitoring weather reports following wind alerts of up to 114 km/h in the Garraf area. Current forecasts suggest conditions will stabilize, allowing the scheduled outdoor activities in les Roquetes to proceed as planned.
