`The brightest and favorite event held in winter - is the Carnival in Mexico. A week before Lent, the streets of Mexico explode with hundreds of bright lights and sounds. Officially, the holiday takes place for five days, during which many carnival participants go out in the street only in masks. According to the ancient tradition, carnival masks have the property of scaring off evil spirits. As soon as carnival ends, the Great Lent enters into force. Every year during the carnival, the city of Mexico hosts more than three hundred thousand guests and tourists, which by attendance puts the Carnival in Mexico to third place after the Brazilian and New Orleans carnivals. Carnival week ends with all kinds of competitions and festivals. At the very end of the carnival, during the comic ballot people choose "The Scary King" and the Queen of Carnival. Moreover, the best of the joke is the Day of the Oppressed Men. On this day, for twenty-three and a half hours, offended husbands can do whatever they want (naturally, within the limits of religion and the state).
If you happened to visit Mexico during fall, then you have the greatest chance to visit the Formula 1 on October 29. This is the most important and prestigious event in the world of racing, rightly called the "Queen of Motorsport", has long become the dream of almost every rider in the world, and, in addition, also the most expensive form of motorsports. November 1 and 2 in Mexico celebrate the Dia de los Muertos - a holiday dedicated to the memory of the dead.
