The fun of Cozumel Carnival awaits you!

Cozumel Carnival (pronounced Carnaval in Spanish) is one of the islands main events. It happens at the peak of high season when the weather is at its finest. Festivities attract thousands of people from all corners of the world. It starts the week before Fat Tuesday, or Mardi-Gras. Yesterday (October 21st 2011). Carnival 2012 will commence on February 15th and end on February 22nd 2012. But the official Carnival poster has not come out yet. Keep checking back and as soon as it is we will post them here. Cozueml Carnival 2011 was just as spectacular as ever! With our new streets, pedestrian walkways, downtown landscaping, and improvements all over the island; visitors were greeted in "tropicool" style! As with every year I took these photos of this years event. If you would like to see hi definition video of this years grand finale parade click here!! The new park in front of the Palacio with a new stage set for shows has been a big hit and will captivate anyone that has not been here since last year. Cozumel has never looked better! If you missed it this year you can always plan to visit during 2012! And if you haven't already made your reservations accommodations, make sure to visit the only vacation rentals ever featured on CBS Television's The Price is Right: Casa Colonial!
	The origins of Carnival are unclear, but most agree that it started as a pagan celebration in ancient Rome, or Greece. Balls were imported from Italy in the late nineteenth century, and had their golden era in the thirties, with legendary balls at the Copacabana Palace, and the Municipal Theater in Rio de Jinero. There's much more to this extravaganza than the Parades. Street dancers randomly roam through town. It's loads of fun, free, and it happens all over the island. You are more than welcome to watch and participate. Besides the fun of a great Parade, there is live music, food, drinks and every manner of distraction in the town square. With so many people gathered together to have a great time how can you go wrong?! This years grand event will be interesting to cover and you can be sure to see the best pictures and video of this most special event right here on Cozumelmexico.net! Every year is different and this year was no exception. The elaborate costumes and float designs were original and entertaining!
You gotta have balls if you think this is not enough! Hey, don't get me wrong... We are talking about the fabulous balls and events leading up to the choosing of the King and Queen of Carnival. :0) If you have never been to the island during this very special time; you are really missing out on a great cultural experience. The "pre" carnival events happen at the Moby Dick, clubs, and other venues in and around San Miguel! Pick out the right parties, and have a ball! Of course this is an adults only activity. It's never too early to start planning. Cozueml Carnival 2012 should be better then ever. Island life has never been better and the weather is perfect!
	For many years we have been capturing images of the many facets of Carnival. These original photos of Carnival 2011 give you a pretty good idea of what everything looks like. But the experience is MUCH better then the photographs. The exciting sounds, fireworks, and rhythms of the night will make you want to come back year after year! This spectacular event is Street Carnival in all its glory, filled with the most exotic characters you will ever see. Here is this years Cozumel Carnival preparations. Here is last years Cozumel Carnial slideshow. We hope that you are having a GREAT time; because we are! Warm Regards from you know where! Bob Rodriguez.
