The Carnival Masquerade Ball at Círculo de Bellas Artes 2026 - A legendary carnival

Círculo de Bellas Artes is organising its traditional Carnival party on 14 February 2026. It will be a wild night of music and fun that will go on well into the early hours. Throughout the evening, famous DJs will perform and there will be live music in some of the building's emblematic spaces, as well as performances by dancers, performers and other surprises. 

The party will feature the best in dance music, ranging from reggaeton to electronic music and the greatest hits of recent decades thanks to DJs. There will also be room for original and impressive performances by dancers, performers and other surprises.

This masked ball is more than just a carnival party, as this institution is one of the forerunners of this celebration, which was first held in February 1891 at the Teatro de la Comedia. This gala soon became a social phenomenon in Madrid.

Ever since the first edition was held, the tradition of Círculo de Bellas Artes’s festival posters has been part of the history of design in Spain. 

Entrance restricted to over 18s
