The queens of Samba, the Llamadas, and overall Carnaval and each zone.

They’re almost here…

Preparing for the Inauguration Parade. The Inauguration parade includes all of the groups that are competing in the Carnaval contests. The parade is held downtown and these pictures were from the “box seats” in Plaza de Cagancha.

The three kings, handing out Alfajores (a local snack).

The drummers, arguably the main attraction of the parade.

More dancing, and another guy dancer as well.

Body paint and face paint are very common, both on the marchers and in the crowd.

The dancing Mammys.

One of the flag wavers posing and performing for the camera.

More dancers that have spotted the camera. Yes, there are even guy dancers, though they are far far fewer than the girls.
