Carnival in French Guiana
Carnival in French Guiana is a major event. Its style is described as Afro-Caribbean. It was established in 1884 following the abolition of slavery. A moveable holiday, it takes place between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, ending on Mardi Gras. The participants – French, Brazilian, Chinese and Creole people – dress in vibrant costumes. Main events include a parade and a burlesque-style marriage.
==Background==
This celebration is a cultural tradition of the French Guianese Creole, its origin traced to carnival customs practiced in Europe. It debuted during the beginning of colonization when settlers took part in carnival, forbidding the slaves from participating. Defying the ban, the slaves practiced carnival in clandestine ways, seeing it as a way to regain some freedom, to commemorate African fertility, and to deride the settlers. In the present day, metropolitan, Brazilian and Chinese communities take part in the event. Its occurrence varies, prescribed by the religious calendar and taking place between the Epiphany in early January, and Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent. Carnival ends on Shrovetide.
