Carnival on Venezuelan

Carnival takes place during the month of February, forty days before Good

Friday, but has no fixed date because Easter is a floating holiday.Carnival has

existed in Venezuela since the colonial period, and wasmuch celebrated in Caracas. Today, however, Carnival has lost itsimportance in the major cities, and is taken more seriously in thecoastal towns, and other provinces, especially in El Callao.El Callao was founded in 1853 with the name of Caratal. It is a town ofmulticultural history, where many Europeans would try their luck intheir search of gold and other vast riches this area offered. It wasthe mixture of Englishmen, Americans and Frenchmen, and their cultures.that brought as a consequence the version of Carnival that iscelebrated in this town. Carnival became a moment in which people couldforget their racial, social and herichal differences.
