When is the 2026 Barranquilla Carnival?

The 2026 Barranquilla Carnival will be held from February 14 to 17, 2026.  Pre-carnival events usually begin about four to six weeks before carnival weekend and include events such as the Lectura del Bando (the opening pre-carnival event) and La Guacherna which is a very popular nighttime parade the weekend before carnival weekend.  Dates will be updated in our Travel Guide for the 2026 Barranquilla Carnival as the year progresses.

How much are palco (grandstand) tickets?

You’ve probably seen the word “palco” numerous times by now and you’re wondering what that is. The palcos are grandstands or bleachers. When you buy your palco tickets bear in mind that there is no assigned seating. Each palco is assigned a name, such as Palco Rey Momo, with no specific seat allocation. We recommend you arrive early to secure a good spot.

IMPORTANT: Palco tickets are sold for all three (3) days, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  Tickets are not sold for individual days. 

Although palco tickets are officially sold on Tuboleta, bear in mind that tickets on Tuboleta will often sell out within a few days or weeks of going on sale, as such, purchasing from third-party vendors will cause the tickets prices to rise.  To purchase your 2026 palco tickets please check the options we currently have available below.

What if I need more than 4 tickets?

If you need more than 4 tickets please contact us directly using our contact form or via Whatsapp.  In the message please specify who many tickets you need and for which palco.  With that information I can create a personalized payment link for the number of tickets you require.

Payment Methods: Credit Card or Bancolombia bank transfer

To pay via credit card, please use our shopping cart below powered by our payment processor, Bold.  To pay via Bancolombia bank transfer, please message us directly on Whatsapp or use our contact form to send an inquiry as to our bank account information.

I tried buying my tickets on Tuboleta but it keeps saying I have to pick them up in-person. I want digital tickets. Can you help?

If you attempt to buy tickets for the Carnival, Baila La Calle, Rumbodromo, Metroconcierto, etc, and other events, and you try using your foreign credit card to do so, Tuboleta will require you to go to their ticket office to pick up the tickets in-person with your ID and credit card to verify you are the person who purchased them. If you are arriving late on Friday night or first thing Saturday before the parade, the Tuboleta ticket office will be closed at this time. Since we’re a local business, Discover Barranquilla can purchase the digital e-tickets on your behalf for a service fee of $40 USD + the $8000 COP fee that Tuboleta charges to transfer the digital tickets. Please get in touch with us using our contact form or via Whatsapp and we can assist you with purchasing your tickets directly.
