Mazatlan's Carnaval fiesta is also its greatest tradition. Once a year, the city rejoices among confetti, fireworks, color, and the beauty of its people, to the beat of the best of our music. 

Beginning on Thursday night, and up until dawn on Ash Wednesday, Mazatlan offers entertainment for all ages. Its three crowning ceremonies (King of Joy, Carnaval and Floral Games Queens, as well as Child Queen) are honored with the presence of internationally-renowned celebrities, while on Sunday and Tuesday you can witness one of the most impressive Carnaval parades in Latin America. This masquerade has been a tradition since 1898, where fantasy and creativity are part of each one of its vibrant chapters. This is the party that brings us together!
