3 March - Carnival in Andorra
The Carnival holiday in Andorra comes each year in February or March, starting Monday, as in many other significantly Roman Catholic countries. The date varies, but it always immediately precedes Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of a 40-day Lenten fast leading up to Easter.
The two main centres of Carnival fun in Andorra are towns of Andorra la Vella and Escaldes Engordany. Carnival Monday is the official holiday in Andorra, but it is not at all the only day on which celebrations occur. As well as traditional Parades and fancy dress balls, each year Andorra’s comuns (local councils) try to dream up something new.
