About Donostia Carnival
The Donostia/San Sebastián Carnival is an annual city‑wide celebration featuring historic comparsas, contemporary groups, charangas, and the figure of the Diosa Momo. Parades move through the Old Town (Parte Vieja) and culminate in performances at Plaza de la Constitución.
This celebration benefits from careful observation, local guidance, and respect for community boundaries.
What visitors should understand
Attendance can be appropriate while active documentation is not. Let local boundaries define your role.
What not to do
Avoid filming or photographing moments that feel private, sacred, or restricted.
Observation may be enough
Some celebrations are best approached quietly: arrive prepared, follow posted rules, and leave without turning the moment into content.
