The world goes a little crazy every February when carnival season begins. During those heady days before Lent starts, city streets teem with eye-popping parades as everyone gets into the party spirit to the sound of non-stop music. Mardi Gras, Carnevale, Carnaval, Karneval\u2014whatever you call these celebrations, they\u2019re an intoxicating way to endure the winter and a wonderful excuse to let your hair down before Lent. They all have their own traditions and histories, and if you want to be inspired about where to celebrate, take a look at some of the best carnivals around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s the world\u2019s largest carnival celebration, with more than two million people descending on Brazil\u2019s second-largest city. For five days before Ash Wednesday, Rio de Janeiro<\/a> erupts in a riot of color, non-stop samba and parades and parties in every neighborhood. The highlight is the series of parades at the Sambadrome arena, which get more and more flamboyant as more than 100 samba schools compete to be the best. Once it\u2019s all over, you\u2019ve got the enormous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema where you can flop and recover.<\/p>\n\n\n

America\u2019s biggest street party doesn\u2019t just stick to the days leading up to Ash Wednesday. For New Orleans\u2019s Mardi Gras<\/a>, festivities begin as early as January 6 (Twelfth Night), when parades start to wind their way through the city\u2019s streets, picking up momentum as the weeks go on. Run by organizations known as krewes, the parades take over parts of the city, including Uptown and Marigny, but many visitors head straight to the French Quarter. The atmosphere buzzes as jazz bands play between the floats and spectators try to catch the \u201cthrows\u201d\u2014anything from beads to toys.<\/p>\n\n\n

Second in size only to Rio, the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife<\/a> brings a decidedly Brazilian flavor to this Canary Island. Over 15 days, the historic streets of Tenerife\u2019s capital throng with flamboyant parades\u2014but not until they\u2019ve elected the carnival queen. That itself is a spectacle you can\u2019t miss, as contestants in extraordinary costumes vie to take their place in the first carnival parade. The excitement builds as the days go on, with music and dancing filling the streets and thousands of people joining the party.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to find a more romantic and elegant way to celebrate carnival than during Venice<\/a> Carnevale. Even if you don\u2019t get an invitation to one of the masquerade balls, you can see masked carnival-goers dressed in wonderfully ornate costumes stepping out of gondolas. Head to the Grand Canal for one of the enchanting water shows and the waterborne procession of the 12 Marias, and find a space in the Piazza San Marco for Commedia dell\u2019Arte street theater. Opera lovers can buy tickets for one of the productions in the Fenice opera house\u2014a taste of the cultural events you can expect during this classy carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dig out your warmest clothes and enter the winter wonderland that is the Quebec City<\/a> Winter Carnival, or Carnaval de Qu\u00e9bec, as it\u2019s known in French-speaking Canada. This immensely attractive city becomes a 10-day snow festival, with a giant Ice Palace built in honor of the carnival\u2019s snowman-like mascot called Bonhomme. Watch the night parades after days spent tobogganing, admiring giant ice sculptures and generally frolicking in the snow. Fill up with Canadian comfort food in the form of poutine\u2014that delicious mix of fries smothered in gravy and cheese curds\u2014followed by maple sugar snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n

Spain\u2019s southern region of Andalusia<\/a> positively sizzles when carnival time comes every February to the city of Cadiz. For 11 days, the whole city buzzes with the sound of boisterous singing and dancing in the streets. The emphasis here is firmly on humor\u2014the more satirical, subversive and irreverent, the better. It\u2019s the chance for carnival performers\u2014known as chirigotas\u2014to show off their wit as much as their costumes. They\u2019re joined by choirs and politically motivated singers called comparsas who turn up at all sorts of open spaces throughout Cadiz. Even if you don\u2019t speak Spanish, the atmosphere is infectious.<\/p>\n\n\n

More than a million people fill the streets of Oruro in Bolivia\u2019s<\/a> Altiplano for one of the world\u2019s oldest carnivals. It\u2019s a lively blend of Catholic customs and ancient traditions that predate the arrival of the Spanish, including the devilish character called Tio de la Mina. You\u2019ll need a lot of stamina for this: its main parade can last up to 20 hours and stretches nearly three miles. With more than 10,000 musicians and 20,000 dancers, it\u2019s a fantastic spectacle that also includes the Diablada, the dance of the devils, which has been a local tradition for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n\n\n

Croatia\u2019s<\/a> biggest port also hosts the country\u2019s biggest carnival. Rijeka, a historic port city at the tip of the Kvarner Gulf, has always had a bit of a rebellious side which is at its noisiest and most rambunctious every February during Rije\u010dki Karneval. The festivities usually kick off around the third week of January with the Carnival Queen Pageant, followed by children\u2019s parades and parties not just in Rijeka itself but also in its surrounding villages. Traffic-free Korzo, the city\u2019s main artery that\u2019s lined with handsome Habsburg buildings and caf\u00e9 terraces, is filled with parades of costumed revelers and floats satirizing celebrities and political figures. One sight you can\u2019t miss are the notoriously raucous zvon\u010dari\u2014bell ringers\u2014eccentrically dressed men wearing giant cowbells whose loud clanging is one of the key sounds of the carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n

Normal life takes a break when the Street Carnival takes over parts of Cologne<\/a> and makes everyone act a little wild. It starts the Thursday before Ash Wednesday on a day known as Weiberfastnacht, which is celebrated mainly in Germany\u2019s Rhineland region as the day of the Women\u2019s Carnival. That\u2019s when men need to watch out for women brandishing scissors and following the carnival tradition of cutting off men\u2019s ties. Watch the colorful parades through the streets of the Altstadt (old town) and join the festivities as they carry on into the S\u00fcdstadt district.
