Carnaval de Ponce
The Carnaval de Ponce (English: Ponce Carnival), officially Carnaval Ponceño, is an annual celebration held in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The celebration lasts one week and it ends on the day before Ash Wednesday. Thus, it is generally held in February and sometimes in March. It is one of the oldest carnivals of the Western Hemisphere, dating back to 1858.〔(''Ponce Carnival Goes International In its 150th Anniversary Edition.'' Let's Go To Ponce. ) Ponce Carnival.
