Santa Cruz Carnival Fair Opens with 'Jet Star' Debut
The Santa Cruz Carnival Fair opened Friday in the port area, featuring new attractions like the "Jet Star" roller coaster making its Canary Islands debut, and will run until February 22 with extended hours during main carnival events.
The Santa Cruz Carnival Fair, a key part of the city's famous carnival celebrations, opened its doors this Friday at 5 PM. It will be open until February 22, ending on Piñata Sunday. This year, it has some exciting new attractions, as announced by the social media account 'Paseando Por Santa Cruz'.
Still located in the port area, this year's fair has improved its entrances. This is to make sure everyone is safe and that large crowds can move around easily. With the slogan "full adrenaline," the fair is set to be a main spot for fun for families and young people throughout the carnival.
The biggest draw this year is the two roller coasters. Alongside the popular "Ratón Vacilón," there's a new high-speed ride called "Jet Star." This is its first time in the Canary Islands.
While the fair has set opening hours for its whole run, it will be busiest during the main Carnival events, like the Grand Parade, the main weekend, and Piñata Sunday. On these special days, it will open earlier, at midday, and stay open until the early morning. This means there will be non-stop fun after the parades and street parties. This shows how important the fair is. It adds to the main celebration, helps manage crowds, and keeps the party going at one of the world's most famous carnivals.
