What's carnival all about? Carnival is a festival that happens over a few days, usually just before Lent, in February or March. Because traditionally many people go on a fast during Lent, giving up meat, sugar or other foods and drink, carnival is an opportunity to enjoy these treats for the last time.

Carnival Day is celebrated every year on February 26 and it is the perfect reason to let loose and party. A carnival is the perfect excuse to enjoy a large-scale party with all the trimmings and thrills. One has only to think back to the heady days of childhood to conjure up images of candy floss, amusing sideshows, and rides that give you butterflies. And if you have yet to experience the magic of the carnival, now is as good a time as any!
