Haiti's papier mâché carnival fills Jacmel's streets each February with towering masks, horned beasts and costumed bands built in workshops across the town.
It runs on the Sundays before Mardi Gras along Avenue Barranquilla; the 2026 edition went ahead under the theme Jacmel dans nos rêves.
Local tip: Free to watch from the street; grandstand seats are sold locally in the days beforehand.
