The stalls, stages and fairground rides go up along the Malecon on Thurs March 3rd, and the whole Malecon will be blocked to traffic for 6 days. The crowning of the Carnaval Queen will take place at 5pm on Saturday March 5th. Live entertainment starts late afternoon, but the bands for dancing in the street don't usually get going until around 9pm.
The parades this year will be held on Sunday 6th, Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th, starting at 5pm and lasting about an hour. Each day they reverse direction. On the 6th and 8th, they start at Marquez de Leon and go along the Malecon to El Molinito. On the Monday, it starts at El Molinito and goes the other way. The affects the time at which the parade will arrive at your chosen viewing location. Chris
