Carnival!
Although Panama is without the usual sights and sounds of Carnival this year because of the pandemic, these photos showcase the spectacular excitement that the events have provided for viewers and participants alike with parades, floats, queens, dancing, and costumes. Did you ever participate in a Carnival parade? Did you have a favorite float or group? What were your favorite Carnival traditions?
