The Barranquilla's Carnaval is celebrated in February. People make costumes for this event. They  search famous people to make their costumes. The heads are very big so that they stand out in the parades. They make groups and everybody wears similar costumes and they are dancing during the parade. Another thing that they celbrate is the death of Joselito. There are women called "plañideras". They cry for Joselito, he is the character who represents this carnaval and his death is the end of the Carnaval.
