History of Carnival
  • Carnival is an annual celebration all around the
    world.
  • There are strong African traditions that
    influence Carnival festival.
  • The ancient tradition of parading through towns
    and villages wearing masks and costumes was
    believed to bring good fortune, cure health
    related issues, and help relatives who have
    passed away move on to the next life.
  • Carnival, for African people, became a way to
    express their power as individuals, as well as
    their rich traditions.

  • Carnival costumes come from the ancient African
    tradition of combining natural objects to create
    costumes, masks and art.
  • Each of the natural objects represents a
    spiritual force or idea.
  • For example feathers were often used because
    they symbolize our ability to rise above everyday
    problems (health issues, broken hearts, sorrow
    etc).
