In this unit it investigates on a festival of our country, The carnival in Venezuelan
Carnival takes place during the month of February, forty days before Good Friday, but has no fixed date because Easter is a floating holiday.
Carnival has existed in Venezuela since the colonial period, and was much celebrated in Caracas. Today, however, Carnival has lost its importance in the major cities, and is taken more seriously in the coastal towns, and other provinces, especially in El Callao.
El Callao was founded in 1853 with the name of Caratal. It is a town of multicultural history, where many Europeans would try their luck in their search of gold and other vast riches this area offered. It was the mixture of Englishmen, Americans and Frenchmen, and their cultures, that brought as a consequence the version of Carnival that is celebrated in this town. Carnival became a moment in which people could forget their racial, social and herichal differences.
Through this we can know more as it is the culture of Venezuelan
