The Nice Carnival is one of the world's major carnival events, alongside the Brazilian Carnival and Venetian Carnival. It is held annually in February in Nice on the French Riviera.
Every year, a special theme is chosen, and traditional artists create 18 floats and other figurines in traditional papier mache for colorful parade. The parades take place day and night, while on the Promenade des Anglais, “flower battles”.
