CARNIVAL

Carnival is a Christian festive season that occurs during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration combining some elements of a circus, masks and public street party. People wear masks and costumes during many such celebrations, allowing them to lose their everyday individuality and experience a heightened sense of social unity. Excessive consumption of alcohol, meat, and other foods proscribed during carnival is extremely common.
