Carnival celebrations
Carnival is a lively, festive season marked by colorful parades, music, dance, and costumes, usually occurring before Lent in many Christian countries. It celebrates cultural traditions, community, and often includes large street events that showcase local artistry and heritage. Participants wear elaborate outfits, and communities come together to enjoy performances, floats, and festivities that foster a sense of joy and cultural identity. While variations exist globally, Carnival generally symbolizes a pre-Lenten period of revelry, marking the end of winter gloom and welcoming spring through vibrant, communal celebrations.
