- Panama's carnival big party celebration in Panama City is the second largest in the world; officially begins the fourth day before Ash Wednesday and many celebrations begin earlier. On the
actual Carnival days, most work comes to a complete stop and the main streets are filled with parades, floats ,masks, costumes and confetti
- Carnival in Las Tablas, a provincial town about l30 miles west of Panama City, is considered by many the best place to celebrate
Carnival. The atmosphere is more folkloric and enlivened by an intense, traditional rivalry between "high street" and "low street" for the fanciest costumes and most creative floats
- Friday everything begins with the selection the Carnival Queen and her attendants. Cuban Week at the El Panama Hotel, Dominican Republic week at the Caesar Park Hotel and Puerto Rican Week
at the Riande Continental Hotel.
Saturday, Vía Espana, the main street of Panama City, fills with people intent on partying . There is a small parade, music blasts everywhere, (mostly salsa, typical Panamanian and Afro-Cuban) and
street vendors abound
- One Panamanian Carnival tradition is "mojaderas" or "getting drenched" in water. Anyone becomes a target to the many fire hoses, water balloons and buckets. Sunday at midday
there is a large, beautiful "pollera" parade. Polleras are Panama's national costume for women. Monday has more of the same with a small parade and the streets filled with revelers
- Fat Tuesday is the biggest Carnival celebration day. A huge New Orleans-style parade with highly decorated floats and costumed people from all sectors of society. The party finishes in the early
hours of the morning
