Nice Carnival 2022
More than 1 million people will descend upon the beautiful city of Nice on the French Riviera for the annual Carnival festivities. It is one of the top 3 carnivals in the world rivaling Rio for its stunning floats, fireworks and party atmosphere. In fact, it was Isabel, daughter of the Emperor Pedro 1st of Brazil, who brought back the idea of introducing the procession into their own Carnival in Nice!
Carnival in the French Riviera!
Every year Nice celebrates a colourful traditional Carnival in the modern era in its current form when the floats and tribunes made their appearance in 1873. The floats are stunning huge creations, often with a theme reflecting contemporary events, politics and world events. There are also a series of fun runs, Carnival Swim heats and street parties. Most people however come for the main parades. There are two types of parades.
THE CARNIVAL PARADE BY DAY OR NIGHT
On the Place Masséna and around the Jardin Albert 1er, 18 allegorical or burlesque floats will parade accompanied by entertainment elements, street art and international musical groups. These Carnival Parades take on the appearance of initiation journeys… The whole universe in 90 minutes.THE FLOWER PARADE
Beside the sea, on the Promenade des Anglais,the grace and elegance of these processions of floats reminds us of the power of the flowers and shows off the floral heritage of the region. A more poetic facet of the Carnival, inseparable from the other more ironic side.HOW GAY IS NICE?
Nice has one of the largest gay scenes in France, outside of Paris. The Carnival festivities attract French guys from around the country and international visitors from beyond! Most of the gay bars and clubs are located in the Old Town known as Vieux Nice. Other popular venues can be found along the Promenade.
