It’s Carnaval season! For those who don't know, Carnaval usually occurs the day before Ash Wednesday (think Mardi Gras in the US) and is seen as the last chance to indulge before the start of the Christian fasting season of Lent. In Portugal (like Brazil), it is a flamboyant and fascinating event and one of the biggest parties of the year. 🎉🤩
Although we will not be going to the big Carnaval de Loule this year, we’ve gone in years past and it is always a fun parade and party. Carnaval de Loulé is the oldest continuous pre-Lenten party in Portugal, with 118 years of celebrations. Last year's 'Carnaval' in Loulé was hailed as one of the best ever, having attracted around 80,000 people to Loule’s streets.
The parades begin in the afternoon today 11th February (*UPDATE: POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN UNTIL TOMORROW 12TH FEBRUARY*) until the 13th of February, and are full of floats, Brazilian dancers, samba groups, and giant costumed characters. I read that this year’s parade will include 14 floats, and 600 entertainers.
Hope you enjoy this video of Carnaval de Loule’s past.
