Celebrated on 17th March every year, it is one of the most popular festivals in Europe. The festival has evolved over time and has become the celebration of Irish culture.

Carnival is truly a sensational festival with people dressed in elaborate costumes, mysterious masks, and parade floats. It is celebrated in many parts of the country but the origin of the festival is from the streets of Venice.
