  • Environ 225 communautés célèbrent le carnaval au Mexique de diverses manières, les célébrations modernes les plus grandes et les plus connues se déroulant à Mazatlán et dans la ville de Veracruz. On trouve également des célébrations plus importantes dans les péninsules de Basse-Californie et du Yucatán, similaires aux autres carnavals avec des chars, des reines et des costumes, mais qui ne sont pas aussi grandes que celui de Rio de Janeiro et de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Les communautés les plus petites et les plus rurales ont des traditions de carnaval qui ont conservé une plus grande partie de l'héritage autochtone et religieux du Mexique et varient en fonction des cultures indigènes locales auxquelles le carnaval est assimilé. La plus grande manifestation de ce genre se déroule à (en), dans l'État de Puebla, avec des simulations de batailles qui sont inspirées de la bataille de Puebla et d'autres reconstitutions d'histoires. On trouve d’autres variations importantes du carnaval à Tlaxcala, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Jalisco, Morelos et dans certaines parties de la ville de Mexico. (fr)
