There is no other day like it! Right after the Spanish festivals end, a giant carnival takes over the streets of Benidorm. The British Fancy Dress Party is the largest event of its kind in Europe.

Over 30,000 people dress up in the wildest costumes, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and British humor. Here’s what you can expect during this madness:

🎭 Event Attractions

• 🦸
  Creative Costumes: From superheroes to movie characters and massive group constructions. The only rule is imagination – the funnier and more inventive, the better!
• 🍻
  Pub Parties: The epicenter of the event is the so-called “English Square.” Local pubs open their terraces, set up live music stages, and serve drinks in a festival atmosphere.
• 📸
  Grand Parade: In the early afternoon, colorful floats pass through the main street (Calle Gerona), as participants showcase their costumes in a joyful procession.
• 🤝
  Smiles and Tolerance: It’s a day full of friendly energy, where everyone – regardless of age or nationality – parties together, sings, and takes souvenir photos.

The party centers in the British district of Rincon de Loix. You’ll find the main highlights and the biggest crowds on these streets: Calle Gerona, Calle Lepanto, and Calle Mallorca.
