Carnival Monday

The exuberant celebration of Carnival Monday on February 16 in Latin America is not just another date on the calendar, it is the pulsating zenith of pre-Lenten exuberance. Rooted in the Christian rite of revelry before Ash Wednesday, Cultural Holidays such as Carnival Monday fuse religious observance with a kaleidoscope of music, costumes, and revelrous Festivities. In Uruguay, the day heralds grand parades and rhythmic Candombe drums echoing through Montevideo’s streets, while in Venezuela it marks a national holiday steeped in processions and dance. Likewise, Argentina embraces the day with festive gatherings, artful floats and effervescent crowds dancing under midsummer skies.
