The Ponce Carnival, also known as the Puerto Rico Carnival, is an annual week-long celebration. It features parades with elaborately decorated floats, people dressed in wild costumes, plenty of music, and large crowds of spectators enjoying the festivities.

Ponce Carnival has its roots in the old-world tradition of a final celebration before the beginning of Lent. However, over time, it has evolved into a week-long party.
