Cozumel Carnival to kick off festivities on Fabruary 15th, 2012!

The island's spectacular annual Mardis Gras has over 130 years of history and is held around February every year, although the exact dates vary. The week of main Carnival events concludes every year on 'Fat Tuesday' with dazzling technicolour processions along Cozumel's downtown seafront. After the seafront extravaganza, the music keeps playing and parties continue well into the night.

Costumed revellers battle in dancing competitions and bands play live music around the city. People line the street, dancing with the performers and catching gifts that are showered on them.
