La Paz’s Carnaval festival will take place February 23-28, 2017. The theme this year is “El Juego de la Vida” or “The Game of Life.”

Most of the events are centered around the Malecón, although events and stages will be in place in many locations along the waterfront. The Parades will be Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (the last three days of Carnaval). The parades have traditionally started from opposite ends of the Malecón, beginning around 5:30pm.
