Argentina Carnival 2024: This year’s Argentina Carnival is scheduled for February 12 and is held on the Monday before Ash Wednesday. Now is the ideal moment to have fun and celebrate. A carnival is the perfect reason to host a lavish celebration complete with entertainment and thrills. All it takes is a childhood reminiscence to bring back memories of candy floss, funny side shows, and butterflies-inducing rides. Now is the perfect opportunity to succumb to the carnival’s charm if you haven’t already.

Argentina Carnival History

This holiday honors the yearly celebration that takes place in Argentina in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday. Monday, known as Lunas de Carnival, and Tuesday, known as Martes de Carnival, are national holidays in Argentina, and the festival ushers in Lent. The carnival customs practiced in Argentina are similar to the Brazilian Carnival, which European settlers brought to the New World in the 1600s.

Whereas the Portuguese carried the Spanish tradition to Brazil, Argentina imported it. In both cases, African traditions have greatly affected carnival rituals. Italy was the home of the carnival, with the Venice carnival being the biggest in the world before the South American carnival tradition took off.

Gualeguaychu hosts the most lavish carnival celebrations, with parades held there every weekend from January through March. The north of Argentina still hosts more people for Carnival celebrations than the south, maybe because the Christian custom of Carnival falls around an earlier, regional harvest festival. The tincunaco ceremony is a Carnival custom in some parts of Argentina.

Originally, the carnival was a celebration of black slaves’ Candombe dance and Spanish ancestry. Over the years, what started as private practices in people’s homes gradually expanded to neighborhood groups and eventually developed into more formal public street festivities with elaborate floats, masks, and parades.

In the early 1900s, carnival celebrations experienced unprecedented levels of popularity. Carnival days became public holidays in 1956, but the military government eliminated them 20 years later. This shift has caused many carnival traditions in Argentina to be lost or disturbed. A few cities kept the customs alive, although they were no longer as extensively observed and celebrated as they once were. In Buenos Aires, a distinct variation known as murgas has taken its place to preserve the carnival atmosphere.
