Carnivals are street parades with colourful costumes, music and dancing. Carnivals began long ago, as a celebration held before Lent, a time when many Christian people fasted, or stopped eating certain food. Everyone wanted to enjoy themselves before fasting. Today, carnivals are held just for fun. One of the biggest carnivals in the world takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Many people spend all year designing and making their costumes for the main parade. Musicians play a type of dance music called samba and compete for the title of best song writer. The celebrations go on for several days and there are prizes for the top costumes and dancers.

Do you know that in Venice, Italy, carnival-goers wear beautiful, jewelled costumes and put on masks to hide their faces!

There are other occasions where people wear costumes as a way of celebration. This is Halloween. Long ago, people in Europe held a festival in autumn, when they believed that ghosts and witches went on the loose. People left out food and drink for them, hoping that they would go away. Later, this festival became known as Halloween. It took its name from All Hallows, the Christian festival for remembering Saints. Today, Halloween is a fun festival held in Europe and in United States of America. Children dress up in scary costumes and make pumpkin lanterns to put in their windows.


In mexican, on the November, Mexican people hold a festival called the Day of the Dead. The evening before, people visit graveyards where their relatives are buried and have a picnic there.
