Carnival in Madeira
Carnival is a popular annual week-long event that is celebrated in Madeira Island. During this time of the year, the streets of Funchal explode in colour, sound, imagination and creativity.
On the Saturday, numerous joyful and colourful groups with original costumes get together to dance and smile in the great allegoric parade. Each year this parade is assigned an original overall theme. The mood is reminiscent of the carnival in Rio. On Shrove Tuesday, locals get together to participate in the ever so fun fools parade, surely something not to miss out on!
