Carnaval

Carnaval is a lively festive event celebrated in many countries, typically before Lent. It features colorful parades, elaborate costumes, music, dance, and public celebrations that express cultural traditions and community spirit. Origins trace back to ancient and medieval times, blending religious and secular elements. While customs vary worldwide, Carnaval is generally a time for joy, socializing, and vibrant artistic expression, serving as a prelude to the more somber period of Lent in the Christian calendar. It often includes street parties, masked balls, and theatrical performances, reflecting local heritage and creativity.
