The Chiclana City Council has announced the opening of applications for children wishing to participate in the cabalgata de reyes magos, a traditional parade celebrating the arrival of the Three Wise Men. Families can submit their applications until 13:30 on 26 November, either through municipal entry registers or via the Virtual Window.
Only one application per child will be accepted. However, if a family wishes to register two siblings, they may do so on a single application form, including details for both children. Participants must be aged between seven and eleven years old, as of 31 December 2026.
Interested families can download the application form from the Fiestas section of the Chiclana City Council website or collect it in person from the Delegation of Fiestas. After the application period closes, the date, time, and location of the public draw will be announced through the council's website, media outlets, and social media channels. Parents or guardians of selected children will be informed via phone or email about the float and costume assigned to their child.
Additionally, a further draw will be held from the remaining applications for children not selected, to participate in the 2027 Carnival Cabalgata, provided they indicated their interest in the application.
“I encourage families in Chiclana whose children want to participate in the cabalgata de reyes magos on 5 January,” said Fede Díaz, the delegate for Fiestas, highlighting the magical nature of this time for children who eagerly await the arrival of Their Majesties, the Three Wise Men of the East.
