Carnaval de Nice 2010 - Mother Earth

The main winter event on the Riviera is one of the largest carnivals in the world, offering a programme of unforgettable entertainment from 12th to 28th February 2010.

The carnival processions, comprising 20 floats telling the story of the Blue Planet work their way up to a crescendo of gigantic decorations on the Place Masséna. These giant, colourful parades take place day and night, with entertainment provided by over 1,000 musicians and dancers from across the world.

Le Carnival Parade is made up of some twenty floats designed on the year's theme and other figurines, including 30 in traditional papier mache in a colourful parade with dazzling colours, with the participation of street theatre and music groups from all over the world. In the evening all the floats are illuminated and the evening parades light up the heart of Nice.
