the stage where she is crowned.

Carnaval Queen 2009, Wendy!

And the celebration begins!!

Daniela Romo performed.

She is said to be as popular to the mexican people as Celine Dion is in America.

Here is a link to her biography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniela_Romo#Biography

The evening after the coronation is the parade. It was hard

to get good photos but here is a short video clip taken from our terrace.

The last day of Carnaval, the parade lines up again along the

malecon during the day. Lots of interesting snacks for sale

along the parade route.

Lots of colorful costumes.

Dance teams line up.

And strange, unusual characters.

The parade begins with sponsors.

Pacifico Beer released their new Pacifico Light during the week of Carnaval.

Time to celebrate "Pacifico Light"!

And we had a beachbum join the parade.


La Banda El Recodo. Very popular banda music in all of Mexico.

King of Joy.

If you want a fun time in Mazatlan, make plans to come down during Carnaval.

All of the events, coronations, parades/floats, fireworks are just fabulous.
