On Sunday afternoon, discover the essence of a unique event in the world…
On Sunday morning, the city comes alive… Buses and cars dance through the streets... Like an endless procession, the crowd hurries, stretches along the seaside before gathering by the waterfront.
Today is a day of celebration! Confetti decorates the azure sky… Atmosphere creators, brass bands, and folk groups twirl, zigzag, and dance among the magnificent citrus floats...
