Oh gorsh, Tantie, yuh already miss this year! :)
Carnival is a "floating" festival, the two days before Ash Wednesday. This year it was on Feb 19 and 20th.
The good news is you have LOTS of time to plan for next year. So for Carnival 2008 you and me will get together and lime on Feb 4 and Feb 5, 2008. Thank you for making me check. I realize that it will be my 3rd consecutive year missing my husband's birthday (for you see he will be home minding the children.)
Peace and Love.

Carnival is always the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday as it is in all countries whose Carnival origins are based in the traditional pre-Lenten celebrations of many pre-dominantly catholic countries.
So you missed it this year, and next year Carnival is in early February.
You've been warned!
