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.
