Carnaval de Mazatlán is an anual carnival held in the mexican city of Mazatlán, Sinaloa. It is celebrated the 5 days before Ash Wednesday. It was first performed in 1898.[1] The carnival has been canceled several times over the years. In 1903, as a preventive measure for the bubonic plague. In 1906, due to lack of financial resources. In 1912, due to the smallpox epidemic. In 1915 and 1916, due to the Mexican revolution. In 1944, it was partially canceled due to the assassination of the Governor of Sinaloa Rodolfo T. Loaiza. In 2010, during the Carnival Tuesday parade, in the middle of the parade, a rumor spread quickly that “there were gunshots,” which caused a mobilization of thousands of people, resulting in several people fainting, beaten, and children lost. This caused the suspension of the parade and the events of that last day of the carnival. In 2021, due to COVID-19.[2] The carnival consists of various cultural events, such as float parades, fireworks, dances and poetry contests, literature awards and shows of enormous artistic quality.[3] It is during the carnival season when the demand for hotels increases due to tourism.[4]
