Carnival Trapalhão 2023
Armação de Pêra, 17th to 22nd February
After 2 years of interruption due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 disease, Armação de Pêra is preparing to host another edition of the traditional Carnaval Trapalhão, which this year has “A Televisão” as its central theme.
In addition to the usual parades on Sundays and Tuesdays, which start at 3 pm, next to the Hotel Holiday Inn Algarve and which will run along the entire Avenida Beira-Mar to the Lota area, we highlight the children’s parade on February 17th ( Friday), starting at 10:00 am, and the Burial of Shrovetide which, on February 22nd (Wednesday), from 9:00 pm, will end the carnival festivities.
“Paulo & Sónia” (Sunday) and “Xico Barata” (Tuesday), will guarantee the animation of hundreds of revelers from 5 pm to 8 pm, in the auction area, in an enclosure “barraquinhas” for food and drinks under the responsibility of the institutions participating in Carnival.
For the carnival parade, we have planned the participation of 15 floats, and it is foreseeable that this number may increase in the coming days with the participation of various informal groups.
This initiative is organized by the Armação de Pêra Parish Council, Silves Sul School Group, “A Gaivota”, Association of Parents and Guardians of the Armação de Pêra, Pêra and Alcantarilha School Group, Casa do Povo de Alcantarilha, Pêra and Armação de Pêra, CNE – Grouping 598 – Armação de Pêra, BTT Algarve Maniacs, Clube dos Veículos Clássicos do Barlavento, Dance Association STAM and which has the support of the Municipality of Silves, Volunteer Firefighters of Silves, GNR of Armação de Pêra, Silves-Albufeira Delegation of the Portuguese Red Cross, Fishermen’s Association of Armação de Pêra; CLAN – Association of Merchants, and local commerce in general.
