on our social calender is carnival. Officially, each year’s “campaign” (that’s what it is called) starts on 11/11 but then it’s on the backburner because of Christmas. Soon after New Year, carnival starts in earnest (and believe me, the people involved take it very seriously). There will be public sessions or meetings with performances ranging from dances, songs and more or less political satire skits.
It will all culminate in the week before Shrove Tuesday with parades and parties. And everything is all over on Ash Wednesday. Until the next year.
