The information that I have is that it's been held on the second Sunday in March for the past few years, which makes it the 12th of March - this will be confirmed :)

Here's a link to some photos of last years Carnaval .... http://maovalverde.com/gallery/Carnaval2005

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

So, who's in? :bandit: Do most people dress up?

Stay well,
Amy

I might make my way up there. I have never been before. Maybe a bunch of us could meet up there. Could be a plan.

Larry,

This'll be the first Carnaval for me too ... looking forward to it!! The idea is to get a group of people together - it came up in another thread, we weren't sure of the dates but after asking around the second Sunday in March seems to be it.

Stay well,
Amy

Dress up? Foreigners? None that I have ever seen.

But Larry has been working on his mask and full Diablo outfit since he arrived in September.

Me no make joke.

Stay well,

Enough already!! That particular horse has been beaten and beaten and beaten. Rest assured, it's dead. :tired:

Now ... back to the Carnaval.

About the costumes, Scandall, you said "Dress up? Foreigners? None that I have ever seen.". I wonder why this is?

Maybe this is a question better suited to HillBilly? Another thing I was wondering about HB, was where you found the information posted in this thread http://www.dr1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46917&highlight=carnaval regarding the dates of this years carnaval?

Stay well,
Amy

Count me in. I go there religiously every year. I will have my group, a few expats and a bunch of santiaguero tigres.

AZB and his infidel friends run up and down the street all day cracking their whips. "Ay, que cosa!"

Sweet! Still have a few conflicting reports about the exact date - some say the first weekend of March due to Samana Santa .... I'm sure this'll get cleared up closer to the time.

So far we have:

AZB & a few expats and a bunch of santiaguero tigres
Robert & ?
Amy & ?
Larry?
Scandall?

lets everyone meet under a well known spot in mao. Because it becomes very congested and people easily lose each other. I say, lets meet under the mango tree that i found last time I was there. Its next to a house.
