VIII Entroido de Cobres Gathering 2026: Vilaboa will once again become the capital of traditional carnival

June 1, 2026

Entroido de Cobres will celebrate the 8th edition of the Entroido Gathering on Saturday, 27 June 2026, a well-established event in Galicia’s cultural calendar that will once again turn Vilaboa into a meeting point for tradition, music and cultural heritage.

The day will begin at 1:00 pm with the traditional Entroidos Vermouth Gathering, held at Chiringo O Camarón (Deilán), featuring a presentation of traditional carnival groups and a dance workshop organised by the Cultural Association Cobres.

Later in the afternoon, from 6:15 pm, the official opening of the gathering will take place, hosted by Marci Varela, with institutional participation from the Cultural Association Cobres and the Town Council of Vilaboa.

At 6:30 pm, one of the most anticipated moments of the day will begin: the parade and performances of invited traditional carnival groups, where the madamas and galáns of Entroido de Cobres and the Entroido Veterans of Cobres will share the stage with other traditional carnival expressions from different regions.

Full information about participating carnival groups and the detailed programme can be found on the official Entroido de Cobres website and its social media channels.

The 8th Entroido Gathering once again reaffirms Entroido de Cobres’ commitment to the promotion, preservation and exchange of traditional celebrations, consolidating Vilaboa as a reference point for intangible cultural heritage.
