Carnaval La Paz 2007 – Video Clips and Photographs


Carnaval 2007 is now history (February 15-20, 2007) . The event was well received, as usual and well attended. The weather for the event was good, particularly the last three days when our north winds slacked off. The BajaInsider staff attended the first night of the street fair and the last night of the parade.

This was my sixth Carnaval, and there were no dramatic changes. The vendor booths that line the Malecon have grown in number and sophistication since my first attendance.

The headline performing acts jammed the intersection of 16 de Septembre and the Malecon. Carnavals ride we popular as usual with the the teenage crowd. Security was tight. We witness an event where a scuffle might has ensued, but toristica police hustled both parties by the elbow from sight of other revelers.

The final night of the parade was delayed after a handful of floats and marchers had already moved on down the Malecon past the Hotel Los Arcos. Apparently, the float that was to bear the Carnaval Queen had a mechanical failure. After about 20-30 minutes the offending diesel tractor was pulled aside and the parade continued.

Another successful Carnaval comes to a close and we start looking forward to next year.

Balloon sales were brisk as parents tried to keep kids amused as the parade started late.
