Carnival

Carnival in Angola is a time to celebrate freedom and joy before the Christian season of Lent, a period of fasting and spiritual preparation.

It is a public holiday in Angola, which means businesses, government offices, and schools are closed on the day.

This is a time for people to come together, dance, sing, and enjoy traditional Angolan food and drinks.

Carnival is an integral part of Angolan culture and identity, reflecting the country's African and European heritage.

Attend a Carnival parade or procession to experience the vibrant music and dance performances.

Participate in the festivities by dressing up in colorful costumes and accessories.

Enjoy traditional Angolan food and drinks, such as calulu, fufu, and matapa.
