"Anuncio cabalgata" sounds to me like a general "Notice of parade" rather than the name of an event.

It seems more to carnival.

It could be interpreted as a mega party.

La respuesta de mi amigo:

Lo del Coso Apoteosis es el nombre que le han puesto "nuestros vecinos de enfrente" *Chichas, (con *cariño), es una cabalgata donde desfilan murgas, afilarmónicas (son murgas que han ganado cinco veces el concurso de murgas), comparsas, grupos de batucadas, asociaciones líricas, etc... esto es lo que es el coso, son más ordenados (todo lleva una organización), mientras que aquí en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria es una cabalgata (...).

No me preguntes qué es una batucada.

Y no sabía que os llamaran "chichas".

Las "batucadas" son grupos que tocan música brasileña, parecida a la samba con percusiones de varios tipos. Muy rítmica.
