DANA Postpones Candelaria Carnival Gala
Candelaria's Carnival Gala, originally scheduled for February 26, has been postponed to a tentative March 2 due to the DANA weather system bringing rain and strong winds to the Canary Islands.
A weather system known as DANA, currently affecting the Canary Islands, has led to changes in Candelaria's festival schedule.
The local Town Hall announced that the Carnival Gala, originally planned for Thursday, February 26, has been postponed. This decision was made due to forecasts of rain and strong winds across the area and much of the island, with weather alerts currently in place.
The event, which was meant to take place next to the town hall building, had to be moved. Ensuring the safety of everyone attending and taking part is the top priority for local authorities during such weather.
The Town Hall hopes to reschedule the gala for Monday, March 2. However, this new date depends on whether the performing groups are available. This kind of flexibility is often necessary when organizing large cultural events, as it requires coordinating many different groups.
For now, all other events in Candelaria's Carnival program will go ahead as planned. The Town Hall added that any further changes will be announced if weather conditions worsen in the coming days, as they are closely monitoring the forecasts.
