On November 11 (the eleventh of the eleventh), at exactly 11:11, is the start of the the carnival season The reason for this date is the number 11, which was traditionally the number of fools and madmen. November 11 is exactly 40 days before December 21, the shortest day. This is the beginning of the dark period for Christmas ending February 2 February 2 is the earliest possible date for carnival. This video shows some weird celebrations with prince Carnival and his mates near a statue of a goat where every year a new theme is announced.
