February 5, 2012 Last year about 150,000 people from Baja California and other parts of Mexico attended the events over the 6 day Carnaval. Like other Mexican Carnavals, expect street vendors, stage shows, continuous music and of course, the Carnaval parade.
The Ensenada Carnaval 2012 is segregated in to zones, having made the type of entertainment you were looking for easier to find. There are separate stages for various styles of music which will be active through much of the day and throughout the night.
