Global Carnival
Posted on Feb 16, 2007 10:30 PM by kristin

This weekend there will simultaneous partying involving parades, masked mischief, beads, babes, and drinking going on all over the nominally catholic world. To get the skinny, take a gander at the latest episode of The Map, where Liza runs down some of the world’s top Carnival spots, and hits up a German “Karneval” party right here in New York. For some extra goodness, take a look at other carnival videos from our archive. Here’s a clip about Rio’s Samba school parade, and a list of the cities most famed for their pre-Lent madness:



Basel, Switzerland
Binche, Belgium
Cologne, Germany
Mobile, Alabama
New Orleans, Louisiana
Patras, Greece
Port of Spain, Trinidad
Rijeka, Croatia
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Sitges, Spain
Viareggio, Italy
Venice, Italy
