Pump Adrenaline at Carnival in Mexico
Every
year, during the month of February, various states in Mexico
celebrate the traditional carnivals. The festivities usually begin with the
burning of a doll called Juan Carnaval who represents
el Mal Humor or the Bad Humor, which takes away the worries of the people.As the carnival continues, fireworks are
fired and the parade begins with carriages and marches. The people dress up,
wear masks or paint their faces and dance non-stop along the major avenues to
the traditional rhythms.
This
year’s carnival in Campeche
will begin on February 7th with concerts and appearances by many Latin
celebrities. In Mazatlan,

the 19th through the 24th of February.The state of Veracruz
will host its carnival from the 17th through the 25th of February, marking the
85th edition of one of the happiest carnivals in the world.
