Every year, over 300,000 people attend the carnival celebration in Mazatlan in Mexico. It is a popular destination for carnival festivities along with other Mexico’s famous port cities like Veracurz, Ensenada, and La Paz. If you’re planning to visit Mexico to observe this famous celebration, it is advisable to book months before the actual date as boarding and lodging(食宿费) rise sharply during the holidays.
People from all walks of life actually participate in this yearly festive celebration. It has become a part of people’s way of life both for Catholics(天主教徒) or non-Catholics. People in the US celebrating this tradition and some parts of South America throw confetti eggs(五彩蛋) to one another as part of the tradition’s practice. This is believed to bring good luck to the person who’s hit by it.
Besides the above activities, masquerade(化妆) balls and rides that charge entrance fees are available. In the evening, a grand firework display awaits audience and participants.
During the last day of the celebration, South American countries such as Mexico conduct cultural awards including poetry contest and so on. The Clemencia Isaura Poetry recognizes and awards the person with the best unpublished work in Mexico.
