A nominee for queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz shows off her outfit on the main stage in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the Spanish Canary island of Tenerife on February 22, 2017.
The costumes are more than five meters high and over 80 kilos in weight. The event began on February 1 and finishes on March 5 with orchestras playing Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms throughout the festivities that range from elections for the Carnival Queen, the Junior Queen and the Senior Queen, to children and adult murgas (satirical street bands), comparsas (dance groups) and street performances. / AFP PHOTO / DESIREE MARTIN

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a nominee for queen of the Carnival of Santa Cruz steals the spotlight as she proudly displays her extravagant outfit on the main stage in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The vibrant colors and intricate details of her costume are truly mesmerizing. Standing at an astonishing five meters tall and weighing over 80 kilos, it is evident that no expense was spared in creating this magnificent ensemble. The Carnival of Santa Cruz is a month-long celebration that showcases the rich cultural heritage and artistic talent of the Spanish Canary island of Tenerife. From February 1 to March 5, the festivities come alive with pulsating Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms filling the air. This grand event encompasses various competitions including elections for not only the Carnival Queen but also Junior Queen and Senior Queen. Beyond these prestigious titles, there are numerous other attractions to enjoy during this carnival extravaganza. Street bands known as murgas entertain both children and adults with their satirical performances while dance groups called comparsas dazzle spectators with their synchronized moves. The streets become a stage where performers showcase their talents through captivating street performances. This AFP photo by DESIREE MARTIN perfectly captures one moment amidst this lively parade – a true illustration of tradition meeting modernity in an explosion of color, music, and joyous celebration.
