Utila Carnival

Utila's summer carnival brings a street parade of decorated floats and golf carts, 'dancing horses', a band, dancers and a carnival queen — a lively, very local party.

Practical

Placed at Utila Town (approx). A cruiser report describes the carnival in mid-summer (the year Hurricane Dolly passed, July 2008); dates vary — confirm locally. Expect noise and crowds; keep a watch aboard at night.
