Sure, you may have heard of the Carnaval in Rio de Janiero, but did you know that this celebration happens in many other parts of the world? Enforex recently posted an informational blog about the event's history and traditions in Spain, as it's happening this weekend!
During these celebrations, participants in the thousands gather and enjoy performances with traditional roots and modern themes. Free expression is encouraged, and wild costumes and props are not out of the ordinary.
From the article:
"This notion of a theme is quite recent: it started in 1987 (the theme was “Rome”) and it proved to be a good choice: it made a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people to gather in an open air plaza; no less than 250,000 people attended."
