When is Carnival 2026?

Carnival 2026 runs from February 14-17, 2026, with dates varying by location. Rio Carnival peaks February 13-18.

Carnival is a festive season before Lent, featuring parades, music, dancing, and elaborate costumes. It originated from Catholic traditions.

Why is Rio Carnival famous?

Rio Carnival is the world's largest carnival, famous for samba parades, elaborate floats, and colorful costumes at the Sambadrome.

The word comes from Latin "carne vale" meaning "farewell to meat," as it precedes the fasting period of Lent.

Traditional colors are purple (justice), gold (power), and green (faith), especially in New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Brazil has samba parades, Venice has masked balls, New Orleans has Mardi Gras, and Trinidad has calypso and steelpan music.
