Carnival
Lent is traditionally a time of fasting and denial, and Carnival is the period before Lent to celebrate pleasures, extravagance and indulgence with an abundance of feasting and dancing. Street parades, float processions, and parties fill every street and plaza in the city and revellers come dressed in rich costumes. A mock funeral procession on Ash Wednesday marks the end of the festivities.Date: 16 February 2010
