Parade of giants and big-headed figures

Giants and big-headed figures return to the streets of Madrid! Their parades fill the city with magic, giving adults nostalgia and children a true fairy tale.

About this event

While giants parade majestically through the streets and big-headed figures dance mischievously among the crowd, Madrid fills with the spirit of Carnival. The Ciudad de Madrid troupe of giants and big-headed figures will transform the square into a living stage where tradition intertwines with magic from 14 February.

For adults, it is a window onto the past full of warm memories; for children, it is a genuine miracle where fairy-tale characters come to life. Giants and big-headed figures do not merely adorn the celebration: they connect generations, turning Carnival into a colourful journey through time.
