Parade
On Sunday 17th the Arc held their Nation Parade, a great opportunity for flag display and entertain locals.

Every afternoon, 700 pm there was a two hour free drink gathering, organised by different sponsors.
At the very beginning we went to a few but as most of the crews were arriving, it got too crowded.
of of the nights..
There were three parties: the reception on Friday 16th(have no pictures), fantastic one with a magician for the children and gwn ups as well!!) ,good food and plenty of drinks. This ws organised by the City of Las Palmas.
The second one was the Arc Mask Ball, see below
