One of the top and most popular carnivals in Mexico. This amazing carnival has been held since 1874. This huge street party is very popular amongst locals and tourists. This celebration includes the presentation of kings and queens, parades, dances, live performances, technicolor processions all along Cozumel's downtown oceanfront and concerts from top singers and bands. The closing ceremony is celebrated with the traditional burning of “Juan Carnaval”, a very popular make-believe character.
La Feria El Cedral and La Fiesta de la Santa Cruz de Sabán
These two celebrations have been held since 1848 in honor of Santa Cruz de Sabán. During these days there are religious, gastronomic, cultural and sports activities, as well as regional handicraft exhibitions and concerts.
