Herencia refines what is, year after year, its great carnival showcase. The Town Hall of Herencia has presented the news of the Desfile del Ofertorio —the central event of the Carnival, which will be held from February 7 to 18, 2026— with a package of measures aimed at streamlining procedures, organizing the extremely high demand, and protecting the most loyal groups.
Registration: Dates and Priority
- General Registration: from January 13 to 26, through email submission of the official registration form.
- Priority Day (January 12): prioritized access for groups that have paraded at least 5 times in the last 10 years or were awarded in the last edition, as long as they meet the requirements.
- Commitment to Participate: groups that sign up and do not parade will be excluded from competing in future editions.
With this schedule, the City Council maintains the open character of the Ofertorio, but guarantees equal opportunities and an organizational pace compatible with an event that sold out spots in the last two editions.
Categories and Prizes
The major categories and awards are preserved:
- Special Floats: 7 prizes + Special Prize “Perlé 2026” for the best display.
- Local Floats: 3 prizes.
- Comparsas, Chirigotas, and Peñas: 10 prizes (local and national categories).
- Murgas, Charangas, Estudiantinas, Tunas, and Rondallas: 3 prizes.
In total, the amounts will approach 24,000 euros.
A Protected Parade for Continued Growth
The Councillor for Culture, Aitor Gallego de la Sacristana, emphasizes that the aim is to “ensure a massive parade that keeps breaking participation records and will once again offer art, talent, and color in the streets.”
These measures come after the presentation of the official poster for the Herencia Carnival 2026 and the publication of the criteria for the Perlés de Honor, reinforcing a calendar that aims to consolidate the Ofertorio as a unique reference in the national carnival scene.
How to Participate
Groups must complete the official registration form and submit it within the specified dates. The organization reminds that the complete documentation and the requirements by category are available for consultation before submission.
