A Brief History and a Few Fun Facts About Mazatlan Carnaval Celebrations<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you think of Carnival celebrations, your mind probably pictures Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, or New Orleans Mardi Gras in the United States.  Or if you are well traveled, you may have had the opportunity to visit one of the oldest and most elaborate Carnevale in Venice.  But did you know the Carnival in Mazatlan, Mexico is also considered among the top ten Carnival celebrations in the world<\/a>? <\/p>\n

The History of Mazatlan Carnaval<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"Mazatlan Carnaval 1910<\/em><\/p>\n

The very first official Mardi Gras version Carnaval in Mazatlan was over 125 years ago in 1898.  There were celebrations dating back up to 50 years before that, but be glad it evolved. The original tradition included women throwing flour and eggshells full of glitter, and the men throwing ashes and dyes back at the women (um\u2026.a slight twist on Ash Wednesday?).  Throw in mock battles (Lucha Libre?) between dock workers and market workers that shouted insults and threw stones at each other, the Mazatlan Carnaval was pretty wild at the beginning.<\/p>\n

In 1898 civil officials decided to make the whole celebration a bit more civil I guess you can say.  Supposedly influenced by international advisors, Mazatlan Carnaval evolved into a bit more of \u201cfancy\u201d celebration exchanging flour for glitter, and organized parades.  Thus, the base for today\u2019s carnival celebrations in Mazatlan.<\/p>\n

A Century of Traditions in Mazatlan for Carnival<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Although evolving, many elements of the Mazatlan Carnival are integral year after year.  There were a few years that Carnaval was suspended due to things like lack of finances, the revolution, small pox, the global pandemic, and even the bubonic plague in 1903!  But just about every year since the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century, there is a celebrated king and queen of Carnival in Mazatlan.  You can actually find the list of Queens of Mazatlan Carnaval throughout the century on MazatlanToday.net<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"\"Mazatlan Carnival Queens 2018 & 2019<\/em><\/p>\n

But the main thing that sets the Mazatlan Carnaval apart from the rest of the word is\u2026.you guessed it\u2026.Banda of course!!  Already incorporated into everyday life in Sinaloa, Carnival week is is the time for Banda celebrations from dusk til dawn.  Grab a six pack from the Six mini mart, fill the bag with ice, and come for a stroll along the parade routes or stop and enjoy the bands playing at one of the plazas or stages along the parade routes ad you will fit in like a local.<\/p>\n

\"\"Banda is the Heart of Mazatlan<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, one other important and unique part of the Mazatlan Carnaval is the Monigotes.  These are super fun and creative paper m\u00e2ch\u00e9 statues that dot the parade route and signify the beginning of the upcoming Carinal season.  Aside from Valentino and the Mazatlan sign, these are the most photographed icons of Mazatlan at this time of year.<\/p>\n

Mazatlan Carnaval Themes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

1943 El Carnaval de Victoria (The Carnival of Victory):  Dating back to WWII, this was actually the godfather of all the Carnaval themes in Mazatlan.  In 1943, after having its ships sunk by German submarines and siding with the allies, Mazatlan decided to create a theme for Carnaval with a message of hope.  The idea of themes slowly stuck, and withing 20 years, now an annual theme is embraced to unify the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mazatlan Carnival Theme 2025 \u2013 La Perla<\/em><\/p>\n

Nearly every year there is a new theme named, but there are definitely recurring themes that are revisited year after year.  Elements of the sea, Mexican culture and traditions, and even Hollywood have been reoccurring themes celebrated in different \u2026\u2026every year.  2024 was the year of the Total Solar Eclipse in Mazatlan.  This amazingly anticipated event became the theme of that year\u2019s Carnaval celebration in Mazatlan.<\/p>\n

Where to go to Experience Mazatlan Carnaval for Yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mazatlan has one of the most amazing Malecon\u2019s in all of Mexico, so needless to say the parade routes stretch for a long distance allowing plenty of space for everyone to enjoy.  In fact, they stretch all the way from the beginning of the Golden Zone, down the Malecon, past Olas Altas, into the Centro Historico, and even east into the neighborhoods.  This year they are beginning at the Monumento al Pescador and culminating at Punto Valentino.  <\/p>\n

\"\"Aerial View Of Mazatlan Carnaval Malecon<\/em><\/p>\n

Plaza Machado, the heart of the historic district, offers its own events such as \u201cBattle of the Bandas\u201d as I call it.  You cannot go to Mazatlan and not be saturated with Banda music. But during Carnaval, you can find some pretty special artists.  There are special concerts and events at the Angela Peralta Theater as well.  And even the Mazatlan Venados baseball team stadium, Estadio Teodoro Mariscal, hosts some spectacular events and musical guests.  The best part is they bring in amazing guests, but they offer most all of the concerts at affordable prices for everyone to attend.  In 2025, Alejandro Sanz<\/a> is playing for just 600 MXN (about 30 USD).<\/p>\n

A Few Fun Facts About Carnival in Mazatlan<\/strong><\/h4>\n

That sums up the basics, but there are some quirky facts that make Mazatlan Carnaval a little extra fun.<\/p>\n

The First King of Carnival was Dubbed Rey Feo (Ugly King).<\/strong>  Needless to say, that does not have the best marketing ring, so after only a couple of years they changed that to the Rey de la Alegria (King of Joy). Good call. <\/p>\n

\"\"First King of Mazatlan Carnaval 1898 \u2013 Gerardo de la Vega \u2013 Not so Ugly!<\/em><\/p>\n

The Mazatlan Carnival in 1903 was Canceled Due to an Outbreak of the Bubonic Plague (Black Death).  <\/strong>Nope, not medieval times, but in 1902 & 1903, cases of Bubonic Plague were \u201cplaguing\u201d Mazatlan.  Smartly, they decided to cancel the festivities that year.  Ok not such a fun fact, but a little shocking at least.  There were future cancellations for Smallpox in 1944 and Coronavirus in 2021 as well, but we can all agree that was probably for the best too. <\/p>\n

The First Queen of Carnival in Mazatlan was not Even Mexican<\/strong>!  Nope, the first queen of Carnaval in Mazatlan was Wilfreda Farmer, born in Garland Maine 1882.  But hey, lets be kind to immigrants and dreamers.  Her family came to Mazatlan in 1885 and she lived in Maz for over 20 years.  So she was \u201cpata salada\u201d.<\/p>\n
