What are you talking about? Is this some sort of foreign holiday, or are you talking about a literal carnival?

In Mobile AL, we are having Mardi Gras which is known as Canival in Brazil so it might have something close to the origins of what you have 19.
No dress up...just parades and alot of free beads and moonpies. ![]() Dante's Abyss 2007 Runner-Up

I'm still dressing up. Even if I live in Canada, it sounds like fun.
If I were a creeper I would hide in... your closet. Or under your bed, you know, depending on the weather.

We have that in Saskatchewan.
We also like to think we have culture.

In Slovenia, we also have a holiday on which people dress up into costumes. But the kids do go from door to door for candy and money.

Quote:Originally posted by HellFighter 17 Yes but its related to scaring away evil spirits and what not. I think the meaning of this holiday is to scare away winter (-.-) and celebrate the beggining of spring.

It's similar to Halloween.
Although its older, and has a very different background. Carnaval is everyone acting weird and crazy for fun because of the spring. Halloween is banishing bad spirits by dressing like them.
