Carnaval Celebrations in Panama City Las Tablas and more
Mark you calendar for this year’s Carnaval in February 8th -12th….One of the best experiences you can imagine…
Between February 8-12 Panama comes alive! The Panamanian Carnival is the second biggest festival in the world. Carnival Week in Panama is especially popular because of the luxury and magnitude of the Las Tablas Carnival as well as the Carnival celebrations in Panama City and almost all of the Azuero Peninsula.
Las Tablas is known for a lively yearly Carnival, in which the city splits into two competing factions, “Calle Arriba” (Uptown, literally “Street Above”) and “Calle Abajo” (Downtown / Street Below), both centered on two streets of the same name. Each group will have a carnival queen, a parade, fireworks, music, a decorated plaza, food stands, presentations, concerts, surveys, games, contests, etc., all attempting to overpower the other faction’s efforts.
The celebration in Las Tablas doesn’t have any limits, just come prepared to enjoy an endless number of festive activities!
