Carnaval etiquette – outdoor events

  • Sit down – don’t block the view.
  • Give priority to shorter people, children, and those with limited mobility.
  • Respect the performance space designated by the artists.
  • React enthusiastically! If you enjoyed the performance, show your appreciation with applause, a kind word, or a donation – for most street performers, the hat is their only source of income.
  • Have fun – remember that as a spectator, you are part of the performance and sometimes even become one of its actors. Laugh freely at others, but
