The starting gun is fired at 7:30 PM, at the Arnaud-Bernard roundabout. This is where the King of the Carnival will receive the keys to the city (it's symbolic, but it's also the signal that the celebration is on). Then, the parade will wander along the boulevards, with a fiery atmosphere: batucadas, floats, oversized costumes, and confetti galore.

A Magical Ending Under the Stars
As night falls, the excitement continues. Starting at 10:30 PM, head over to Jean-Jaurès alleys (the ramblas for those in the know) for the grand finale. On the agenda: DJ sets and street performances, the perfect way to end the evening! Well, with tens of thousands of people expected, you can guess it’s going to be crowded. So, avoid driving! The Compans, Jeanne-d’Arc, and Jean-Jaurès metro stations will be closed, just in case, so be sure to plan your route to keep things smooth, and most importantly, dress comfortably, and in pink, of course!
