Mazatlan's International Carnival is a seven day, multi-event celebration filled with live music, folklore, dance, entertainment and costumes depicting indigenous traditions, where diverse celebrants of all generations gather within a joyful ambience of magical exaltation.

Mazatlan International Carnaval is distinguished by being the only Carnaval in México and the World that combines fiesta and cultural and artistic activities.

The most highly-anticipated event of the Carnival of Mazatlan is the carriage float (or "allegorical" carriages) parade, which takes place on Sunday. The waterfront is transformed into a sea of thousands, Mazatleco families and visitors gathering to enjoy the parade of fantasies conceived by carriage float creator Rigoberto Lewis.
