Barranquilla's Carnival

Barranquilla's Carnival

Our sandy city will be celebrating carnivals from March 2nd to 5th, so our school couldn't be more than glad to share this festivity in order to encourage American students to continue living this tradition plenty of happiness, colors, and costumes.

American School's carnivals we'll be held on February 28th with all the meaningful dances, like: Cumbia, Garabato, El Son de Negro, El Congo, El Caiman, El Paloteo, El Gusano, Las Farotas, De Relacion, El Mapalé, and Las Pilanderas. This is going to be a festive day where everyone is invited to gather together while enjoying this folkloric journey.

As everyone knows, carnivals offer you a lot of fun activities

for your family and friends to launch a four day of extreme stamina when you can recharge your energy and come back to normal life with lots of experiences regarding this celebration, which was started with the pre-carnival and El Bando  (Proclamation) reading by our queen, Carolina Segebre, whose picture is shown here while dancing with our major, Alex Char.

The most emblematic events in carnivals are: The Crowning of the queen, the children's parade, la Guacherna (Held on Friday, a week before Carnival's Saturday),  the Flowers' Battle (Held on Saturday), the Orchestras' Festival, and the Traditional Parade (Held on Monday), and the closing event is Joselito's Death, that ends these festivities.
