The origins of Carnaval date back to medieval Venice, Italy, where it began in the 12th century as a grand festival before Lent, the 40-day period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter. During this time, people wore elaborate masks and costumes to hide their identities, allowing them to celebrate freely, regardless of social class. The Venetian streets filled with music, theater performances, and extravagant feasts, making it one of the most famous festivals in Europe.
In New Orleans, the festival evolved into Mardi Gras, which means “Fat Tuesday” in French. Brought by French settlers, Mardi Gras became a unique mix of European and Creole traditions. The celebration includes grand parades with decorative floats, jazz music, and the famous tradition of throwing beads to the crowds. Like in Venice, people wear masks and costumes, keeping the spirit of joy and revelry alive.
Over time, Carnaval also took on a life of its own in Brazil, blending European traditions with African and Indigenous influences. Today, Brazilian Carnaval is known for its dazzling samba parades, colorful costumes, and lively street parties. Cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo host spectacular events where samba schools compete with elaborate floats and dancers, attracting millions of people from around the world. Whether in Italy, New Orleans, or Brazil, Carnaval continues to bring people together in a celebration of culture, music, and tradition.
