Overview

The Montevideo carnival is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted traditions in Uruguayan culture. From the last days of January to the first days of March, dozens of groups grouped into five categories (Murgas, Comedians, Parodistas, Magazines and Comparsas de negros y lubolos) tour the city performing on stages called “tablados”. At the same time they participate in the Official Contest of Carnival Groups.

The stage has been since the beginning of the last century the natural meeting place for carnival festivities. It is the expression of the popular festival, tradition and heritage of the city. It is there where great popular artists have made contact with the murguero song, the candombe and all the artistic expressions of our carnival.

At night we will be able to appreciate between 2 and 4 shows on a stage, you will feel carnival culture as we live it in Montevideo and it makes many travelers visit us for these artistic expressions.
