Come celebrate Mardi Gras of the West as Carnevale returns to the Aquarium of the Pacific for a day of music, mystery and masquerade. Modeled on the carnival of Venice, Italy, this historic celebration offers participants the chance to express their creativity and enthusiasm, donning fanciful masks and costumes and frolicking together in dance and song. Originally a time to indulge in rich foods and wild revelry before the fasting of Lent, modern masqueraders see it as a time for nourishing the arts and exalting le joie de vivre. So, dust off your feathered headdress and shine up your baubles, bangles and beads, and head on over for a day of delicious debauchery.
Fri., March 25, 6 p.m.; Sat., March 26, 1 p.m., 2016
