When's Carnival starting in Latin America?


Is it the same day every year?

Carnival is never the same date as it is always 3 days before Lent. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar and Carnival is always the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
This year, Carnival Sunday is February 3rd.
