Ready to celebrate Carnival? Costume ideas for the Carnival of Carnivals

Carnival comes to PortAventura World and it does so in a different and very special way, merging together the Carnivals of Rio de Janeiro and Venice. From 17 February to 26 March, join us for a unique party and let yourself be carried away by the best rhythms while immersing yourself in the pure joy emitted by all the parades and shows that you’ll find inside the Resort.

So that you get the most out of the experience, we suggest several ideas for Carnival costumes. Because Carnival without costumes is like Christmas without presents.

Fail-safe Carnival costume ideas

Year after year, when Carnival arrives, one of the biggest dilemmas is deciding what to put on. Because Carnival memories are made by our costumes. So, if you don’t know what to wear for the Carnival of Carnivals, we bring you some suggestions that always succeed.

Villains of the past: pirates, thieves, and outlaws

If you are one of those people who like elaborate costumes, baddies are always a great option. With a good costume, a touch of makeup, and a serious expression, you can feel like an old-time outlaw. And if you choose a villain related to one of our worlds, your character will be even more realistic.

You don’t have to wait for Halloween to go as a monster

One idea for Carnival that never fails is to dress up as a monster. It is an elaborate costume that requires skilled makeup as well as some fur or the right clothing. If well done, it’s definitely a great option! It’s an unforgettable costume and you’ll make everyone green with envy. Another benefit is that if the weather’s cold, it will keep you nice and warm.

If you go as a superhero, with our attractions you’ll have super powers

Have you ever been on a ride dressed as a superhero? If you do it in PortAventura World, it will blow your mind. The speed and intensity of our most adrenaline-pumping rides will make you feel like you have real powers. And not only that, in the souvenir photo you’ll look fantastic.

It’s the year of Nathan Drake, but there are more adventurers to choose from

If there’s one costume that should be a hit this year at PortAventura World due to the new ride, it’s Nathan Drake, the protagonist of Uncharted. It’s a simple, striking costume that, ever since this famous video game franchise was born, has not gone out of style. However, you can always opt for another type of adventurer to fit in with this environment.

A movie-based costume is another tried and tested option

You can also look to the year’s many movies and TV series for Carnival costume ideas. Emulating the great characters of the seventh art is always a safe bet, especially if you pay enough attention to the costumes and makeup. And best of all, if you really go to town on your costume, at PortAventura World you have a great backdrop to take movie photos.

Masks and maracas, a true favourite for the season

If you want a Carnival costume idea guaranteed to deliver when visiting PortAventura World, a Venetian costume or one related to the world of samba will really hit the spot no matter what. They are usually beautiful and very iconic dresses that do not need more accessories than a splendid smile. In addition, you’ll get even more into the spirit of the Carnival of Carnivals, so that you can experience it more intensely.

A great costume is awesome, but… what if you dress up as a family?

Dressing up is always fun, but a couple or group costume is even cooler. If you don’t know what to dress up as and neither do the rest of your family or friends, a joint costume can be your salvation. Many costumes are even more spectacular if each one of you embodies a character. And your PortAventura World souvenir photos will be so much more incredible.

If you already have an idea for your Carnival costume, but you don’t have a ticket… What are you waiting for?

PortAventura World’s Carnival of Carnivals is going to be one of the great events of the year. In addition to the scheduled shows, we have all kinds of street entertainment that will keep you up on your feet and dancing.
