A carnival is a public celebration or event that typically involves activities such as entertainment, performances, games, rides, parades, contests, and food and drink, often held annually and with a festive atmosphere. It is often associated with costumes, masks and vibrant decorations. Carnivals are generally associated with religious or cultural celebrations and are celebrated in many different ways around the world.

Carnival, Carnaval, or Carnivale is a festive season which occurs immediately before Lent; the main events are usually during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life.
Carnival is traditionally held in areas with a large Catholic and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox makeup. Protestant areas usually do not have Carnival celebrations or have modified traditions, such as the Danish Carnival or other Shrove Tuesday events. Conversely, the Philippines, a predominantly Roman Catholic country, does not have Carnival celebrations as they are more culturally influenced by neighboring Asian nations, which do not have Carnival celebrations.
