Although it's not out of the question that some are already thinking about the 2027 Momo festival, considering that the Carnavalito is no longer held in some sectors and the 'tunas' prefer to go straight to the 'victory slaughter,' where they will celebrate their respective, and self-proclaimed, victories.
Carnival 2026 is over, and with it, the farce ends, and preparations for the religious festivals begin, starting with the imposition of ashes in Catholic temples.
For some, the best Carnival is at the beach, others experience it in the parks, in the middle of the 'culeco,' while there are those who prefer retreats and others simply stay at home resting.
During this period, new board members are elected, financial reports are presented, and, of course, the next winner, the 'lidies,' is announced. These events take place in the packed parks of the country's interior.
It was four days in which people decided to trade their routine for music, dance, and a drink or two.
After the announcement comes the official presentation in the town and the second 'official presentation,' but in the capital, and so on until the economic goals to organize the Carnivals are met, and people long for the days of 'Hey Pedro, where are you off to?'
No matter where you went, the important thing is that you were with family and everything was under control. Finances are one of those concerns, especially since the dry season vacations are ending and what comes next are the purchases of uniforms, backpacks, shoes, and a long list of other school supplies.
