Carnaval de Ponce
18° 0.0′ N · 66° 37.0′ W
Puerto Rico's best-known carnival, dating to at least 1858: a week-long celebration ending on Mardi Gras, with about 100,000 attendees.
Practical
Coordinates from Wikipedia. Held in February or March, ending on Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday), so the dates move each year. Expect the yacht club and anchorage to be busy and loud; book slips early.
