Puerto Vallarta Carnival
The Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Mardi Gras Parade
The Vallarta Mardi Gras Masquerade Party is Monday, February 11, from 7 to 10 pm on the new Los Muertos Pier.
Free. Wear a mask!
Mardi Gras and the Carnaval Parade is an annual festival, a public celebration held just before the Lent, forty days 
before Easter. On certain days of Lent, Roman Catholics and some other Christians traditionally abstain from the consumption of meat and poultry, hence the term “carnival,” from carnelevare, “to remove (literally, to raise) meat.”
Mardi Gras / Carnival celebrations are a combination of parades and street parties.
In some countries, notably Brazil, Carnival is the most famous holiday of the year and has become an event of huge proportions. The country stops completely for almost a week and festivities are intense, day and night. Tourism receives 70% of the annual visitors in this time period.
Carnaval, no matter where it is celebrated is music, dance and costume.
