Carnival remains the annual high point of Uruguayan festivity.
Occurring before Lent, the carnival season includes parades with flowered floats, and buildings are festooned with streamers and colored lights. Parades with marchers wearing garishly colore d masks and costumes clog the streets. A major feature is the tablado, a lavishly decorated temporary stage, on which musicians, clowns, dancers, and mummers perform.
