 Cozumel Carnival. | |
The island's spectacular annual Mardis Gras has over 130 years of history and is held around February every year, although the exact dates vary.
The week of main Carnival events concludes every year on 'Fat Tuesday' with dazzling technicolour processions along Cozumel's downtown seafront.
People line the street, dancing with the performers and catching gifts that are showered on them.
|
After the seafront extravaganza, the music keeps playing and parties continue well into the night.
Costumed revellers battle in dancing competitions and bands play live music around the city.
Cozumel Carnival 2009
The dates and program of events for Cozumel Carnival 2009 will be announced in late 2008.
As a guide: Fat Tuesday, or Mardis Gras falls on February 24 in 2009. Normally the Carnival would be in the week running up to that date with the biggest parades on the Tuesday itself.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee until the official dates for Cozumel 2009 are announced, but as soon as they are confirmed they will be posted here.
