In this picture taken Friday, September 8, 2017, Brazilan Samba dancers perform on stage during the Harare International Carnival in the capital. An international carnival aimed at boosting the local tourism industry has ended in economically troubled Zimbabwe. Some viewed the Harare festivities, which ended Sunday and featured artists and dancers from Brazil, Cuba, Egypt and elsewhere, as a relief from the struggle to get by in the southern African country.

Inhabitants of the community of Coyolillo celebrate their Afro-descendant carnival in Veracruz, Mexico on February 25, 2020. This carnival has more than 100 years of history and is the heritage of the African workers who arrived in that area more than 300 years ago to work in the sugar cane fields. The event is known for the colourful robes, capes and animal masks – of bulls, deer, goats and cows – worn by participants. As such, the carnival is a unique expression of African-Mexican folk art.

People take part in the “The Burial of the Sardine” funeral procession, which marks the end of carnival festivities, in Madrid, Spain, February 10, 2016. “Mourners” carry a coffin with a mock sardine through the streets to celebrate the countdown to Lent. Spanish painter Francisco de Goya's painting “El entierro de la sardina” (The Burial of the Sardine) was inspired by this tradition, which started in Madrid in the 18th century, around the time of Spanish King Carlos III.
