Here are some of the primary Carnaval costumes that were used in last year’s parades. They were on display at my hotel. Pretty elaborate stuff, huh? These are used as the centerpiece of a float, and are so big and cumbersome, that the people wearing them can’t really move around. They just kind of turn from side to side and wave at the crowd.
All of the costumes are hand-made each year. Not just these costumes, but every one of the thousands of costumes for each school. It really has become an entire industry in itself, and operates year-round.
