Cozumel Carnaval 2010 Information & Events |

| Carnaval 2010 Calendar of Events |
Cozumelinsider.com is the Original website for Carnaval Information!! For years, visitors have used Insider to stay up-to-date on Carnaval events and activities. So keep checking back regularly to see updates on king and queen candidates, dance competitions, community presentations and much more!
Begin planning now & looking ahead to Carnaval 2011 because it will be here before you know it!!!
Pre-Carnaval events begin in late January and Carnaval itself starts just a few weeks later!!
This is the page to bookmark for Cozumel Carnaval 2010 Activities !!
Let's start by explaining a bit about Pre-Carnaval events!
As you may know, each year a King and Queen of Carnaval are elected by the general population of Cozumel.These Pre-Carnaval events focus on presenting, vying for votes and electing the King and Queen of Carnaval. These are very much"locals" type events.  They don't even start until well after midnight and last until the wee hours of the mornings! Tourists might enjoy them but honestly, I've never promoted attendance by tourists simply because...
- These events do run so late into the night and ...
- I believe the locals should maintain control of who THEY WANT as THEIR King and Queen of Carnaval.
Remember: All Pre-Carnaval activities are repeated twice : once on Saturday in a grand ballroom ticketed event where the locals attend and then AGAIN on Sunday in the downtown for FREE so tourists can see!
ALL Carnval activities (locals and tourist) are listed so if you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
