The iconic tome celebrates the ancient Roman festival that honoured the god Saturn. The seven-day fest allowed slaves temporary freedom to say and do as they pleased. Slaves and the Roman elite would exchange clothes and spend the days in drunken revelry. This ancient tradition is the root of Carnival, the modern fest that celebrates debauchery in all its forms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word carnival probably originated from the latin <em>carnem levare<\/em> (<em>to remove meat<\/em>): before Lent\u2014a period of fast, prayer, penitence and sacrifice\u2014observant Catholics were allowed to indulge in pleasures\u2014such as eating meat on Fridays\u2014that were restricted during the month-long pre-Easter purge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carnival culture has come a long way since Macrobius\u2019s time, with many different adaptations depending on the countries in which it is practised. While some sort of Carnival celebration can be found on nearly every continent, we\u2019ve narrowed down our list to our three favourite places to enjoy it in 2022.

It celebrates rebellion and debunks high-brow culture, making it one of our favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        Venice      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to Venice   <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"30111\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_249363862-1024x748.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30111\"\/><figcaption>Viareggio floats are massive and some of the highlights of the Italian fest.

While fun was a part of it, they also wanted to protest against the increase in taxes. Thus, Carnival Viareggio was born. Since that time, the Carnival of Viareggio has been an annual festival that allows participants to exorcise dissatisfaction against the political establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elaborate floats featuring sculpted paper mach\u00e9 masks parade down Viareggio\u2019s promenade, which runs more than three miles along the coastline. Mechanics, designers, welders and others work day and night to create these extraordinary pieces of art. Many of the characters depicted come from the Italian <em>Commedia dell&#8217;arte<\/em> while others are satirical versions of international celebrities and political figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"30118\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1446202589-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30118\"\/><figcaption>People dressed in costumes dance, sing and throw confetti.

Since then, it has been the mascot of the carnival. Keep your eye out for him as you join friendly revellers dancing and singing in the streets! This year the central themes of the carnival include climate change, gender equality and getting out and about after the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival 2022, February 11th-March 6th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than five centuries of history behind it\u2014including resistance to the Franco dictatorship\u2014Carnival in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omio.com\/travel\/las-palmas-de-gran-canaria-xoxvk?utm_source=omio-magazine&amp;utm_medium=magazine&amp;utm_campaign=January&amp;utm_content=Carnival&amp;utm_term=US_Laspalmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Las Palmas de Gran Canaria<\/a> is one of the biggest celebrations on the Spanish social calendar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        Las Palmas de Gran Canaria       <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria   <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"30138\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_1339447574-1024x966.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30138\"\/><figcaption>Beauty and pageantry are a part of the Gran Canaria Carnival.

Everyone dances the <em>batucada<\/em> (a kind of samba) until dawn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival includes multiple pageants and events as well: the Carnival Queen Gala, the Drag Queen Gala (where 17 candidates participate in a drag queen competition with no restrictions on gender or sexual orientation), and the Murgas contest. The last is a battle-of-the-bands type competition with satirical songs that make fun of the government and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"30144\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_180534791-1021x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30144\"\/><figcaption>Elaborate costumes are the talk of the town!

And it\u2019s been raucous ever since.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spirit of New Orleans Mardi Gras can be described as a mixture of centuries-old Creole traditions, jazz, bright colours and drinking, lots and lots of drinking (New Orleans is one of the only places in the United States that lets you drink on the street with an open container.

Floats promenade down these picturesque narrow avenues with their wrought-ironed homes while drunken revellers throw cheap colourful beads at any woman willing to bare her breasts. But it\u2019s not all sophomoric. Talented young musicians play jazz for free and the locals are some of the friendliest people you\u2019ll find in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"30170\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_556630816-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30170\"\/><figcaption>Only positive vibes and nice music in the Mardi Gras parades!
