The second biggest city after Havana, Santiago is the most exotic city of

Cuba with lots of different ethnic groups having settled here over the

centuries, including African, Chinese, Indigenous, French Haitian, and Spanish.

What?

However the Carnaval of Santiago de Cuba evolved out of the summer festivals formerly referred to as the (Fiestas de) Mamarrachos. Mamarrachos were held on June 24 , June 29 , July 24, July 25 and July 26.

The actual content of the Mamarrachos had nothing to do with religion.

The carnival of Santiago de Cuba is the largest, most famous,

and most traditional carnival in all of Cuba,

and is an explosion of colour, contagious drum rhythms, and dance.

It is also a time for Cubans to re-gather themselves and remember

their history, community, and culture, and is often punctuated by the

Cuban national holiday of July 26th.
