| Nine of the Top 10 Carnivals of the World |
Researching Carnivals of the World for this series has been eye-opening to discover so many more carnivals worldwide than we could ever have imagined. Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2021 was cancelled because of the pandemic, with only a tribute gala and some audiovisual events to come under the chosen theme of Carnivals of the World. Nevertheless, we've continued to take a tour of the parties (we've been to Notting Hill, Nice, Venice, Rio de Janeiro, Cádiz, Santa Cruz de La Palma and Cologne), because it's provided a pleasant diversion from the problems we face currently. Any list is bound to be subjective, but here's a look at just ten of them: some we knew and some we didn't.
- Carnival – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Notting Hill – London, UK
- Mardi Gras – New Orleans, USA
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnaval
- Carnevale di Venezia – Venice, Italy
