Maputo Carnaval

The Maputo Carnival is a celebration held every year in the capital of Mozambique. The event intends to position itself as the largest carnival nationwide. In addition, it wishes to become a global tourist attraction to congregate thousands of people in a free and outdoor celebration with ambiance, music and dancing.

Maputo Carnivals seek to promote Mozambican culture through the performance of musical pieces and dance by each participating school, helping to position the culture internationally. The schools and students participate in an innovative project of a recreational, artistic and cultural nature, promoting a healthy and competitive environment among them.

Carnival in Maputo constantly competes with the Carnival of Quelimane to become an event recognized both nationally and internationally. Today the Maputo Carnival is held in the streets of the city and continues the parties in some clubs and bars. It also includes the participation of 3,000 dancers and 9,000 visitors from various parts of the country and the region.
