If you are planning to travel to Los Cabos within the next month, Carnaval in La Paz is one event that you cannot miss! 
This is one of the best Carnaval celebrations in this part of the world; it is being held from February 27-March 4, 2014. Though modern-day Carnaval celebrations tend to feature drinking, merrymaking, and general revelry, this is not a recently developed holiday. In fact, it dates back many centuries. Carnival signals the end of the Lenten season in the Roman Catholic Church.
La Paz is located within each driving distance of both Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, so no matter where your villa or other vacation rental is located in Los Cabos, you will have no trouble finding the festivities. You can even hire a driver if you don’t think you will be able to drive when the party ends each night.
There are a variety of events that take place during Carnaval in La Paz. You will be able to witness colorful floats during parades on several days and enjoy the talents of many stage and street performers. Additionally, the King and Queen of Carnival will make appearances throughout the week; these individuals are the official ambassadors of the event.
There are also a wide range of food and beverage vendors available. People who plan to travel to Los Cabos with children may be worried about attending Carnaval with youngsters in tow, but this shouldn’t be a major concern. Overall, La Paz’s celebration is a tame one. Your sons and daughters are sure to love the brightly hued costumes, food choices, and electrifying atmosphere! If you have any specific concerns about the event, please contact the coordinators. It is a good idea to take children back to vacation rentals before nightfall, however. In addition, make sure that you secure any valuable belongings in a zipped bag that lies close to your body while you are walking through the thick crowds at Carnaval.
