On the final day of the carnival holiday, Malecón 2000 in Ecuador experienced a steady flow of visitors, reflecting the celebratory spirit of the festivities. The warm temperatures particularly influenced people's choice to stay in shaded areas, although the overall attendance was manageable without overwhelming crowds. Families, especially in the children's play area, enjoyed their time, while others explored shorter routes before seeking refuge from the heat in cooler spots.

Throughout the day, individuals could be seen carrying hats, water bottles, and ice creams to keep cool, indicating a mix of relaxation and enjoyment in the face of high temperatures. The carnival holiday, which began on Saturday, was coming to an end, and many visitors started planning their return to different provinces later in the evening, as normal work and school activities were set to resume on Wednesday. This transition from the festive atmosphere back to daily life is often a moment of reflection for many families.

Moreover, the event showcased a blend of local and visiting families, including those from Cuenca, Santa Elena, and Otavalo, indicating the Malecón's role as a communal space for celebration and connection. This situation underlines the importance of such public spaces in fostering community ties, providing leisure options for families, and stimulating local commerce during holiday periods.
