New Year's Eve Show
This majestic spectacle of light and color, with pyrotechnic effects that combine modern design, will present effects never before seen at the New Year's Eve celebrations in the region. In 2006, it was internationally recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as "The largest fireworks display in the world."
Carnival Parade 2026
It’s defnitely the most emblematic and colourful event of Madeira. For several weeks Funchal has the aroma of the flowers and the joy of thousands of visitors.
The construction of the Wall of Hope (where children place flowers) and the flower carpets in the streets are unique moments in this event. However, the climax of this event is the Flower Festival Float Parade, where more than a thousand participants, of all ages, join in this parade of aromas, magic and enchantment.
A week after, the city is embellished by the Madeira Auto Parade, combining the beauty of several classic cars with the simplicity and charm of the floral arrangements. A mix of magic not to be missed.
