Last week saw a massive seafront finale to Cozumel Carnival for 2013.

Thousands of enthusiastic tourists and locals were out on "Fat Tuesday" to dance in the streets and watch the colorful, musical parade.

The Carnival 2013 King and Queen, danced non-stop on their float, waving to the crowds that lined the island's seafront road downtown.

The following night, after the Carnival confetti and beads had been cleaned up, Cozumel's main square was full again for the official closing ceremony.

Prizes were presented to outstanding Carnival participants, from children and teachers and to favorite pets.

Watching the flames with tears in their eyes, islanders and visitors said a sad goodbye to Carnival for another year.

Everyone that took part will have happy memories of this colorful week in 2013.

And, of course, Carnival diehards are already looking forward to even more music and dancing in Cozumel Carnival 2014!
