One of the interesting things about the Victoria Carnival is that it not only entertains a significant proportion of individuals from all over the world, but it also encourages visitors to learn about Seychelles culture. The Seychelles International Carnival of Victoria creates a strong connection between traditional carnival attractions and Seychelles' art, culture, history, and national heritage. Thus, the Seychelles Carnivals demonstrate pride in its own culture, as well as cultural and racial diversity, religious beliefs, and political allegiance.

Every year in October, this thrilling display takes place.
