La Laguna Opens Registration for Corpus Christi 2026 Carpet Makers

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved…

Now’s your window.

The Key Date

🗓 Corpus Christi: June 7, 2026

And preparations are already underway.

Registration Now Open

From May 4, La Laguna Council is accepting applications for:

  • Individuals
  • Groups
  • Associations

Anyone who wants to create one of the traditional carpets along the processional route.

A Growing Tradition

This has been picking up momentum:

  • Around 40 participants before
  • Now closer to 70 carpet makers

And still growing.

What’s Changing

There’s a stronger push this year towards:

  • Natural materials
  • More flowers as the main feature

Which, to be fair, is what most people come to see.

Getting Involved

You can apply:

  • In person (SAC offices)
  • Or online via the council platform

Deadline is 10 days before the event… so don’t leave it last minute.

Worth Knowing

They’re also encouraging:

  • Schools
  • Local groups
  • Community participation

So it’s not just for experienced carpet makers.

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just decoration…

It’s one of La Laguna’s oldest traditions, and still one of the most recognisable.

And if you’ve seen it in person…

You’ll know it’s worth the effort.
