Carnival Facts

Carnival comes from ancient Roman and Greek festivals, where people would celebrate the arrival of spring with feasts and parties.

Carnival is celebrated in over 50 countries, with each region adding its unique flavour to the festivities.

Many Carnivals, especially in Spain and Portugal, feature spectacular fireworks displays.

Carnival has influenced other festivals worldwide, such as the Notting Hill Carnival in London, which celebrates Caribbean culture.

The Rio Carnival is the largest in the world, with over two million people participating daily in samba parades, street parties, and elaborate costumes.

In Rio, samba dancers wear elaborate, feathered costumes that can take months to create.

In Trinidad, groups called “Mas Bands” design and wear themed costumes, competing for prizes.

During Venice Carnival, people enjoy Frittelle, a type of fried doughnut filled with cream or raisins.

The Venice Carnival is known for its elegant masks and costumes. The tradition dates back to the 12th century.

Venice is famous for its intricate masks, often adorned with gold leaf, feathers, and jewels.

The Mardi Gras Carnival in New Orleans is famous for its parades, bead-throwing, and vibrant street parties.

In New Orleans, King Cake is a popular treat – it is a sweet, circular cake decorated with purple, green, and gold icing.
