ARGENTINIAN HALLOWEEN
IN ARGENTINA, EL DIA DE CARNIVAL IS A DAY LIKE HALLOWEEN.
IT IS ONE WEEK LONG IN LATE SPRING.
WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A HALLOWEEN LIKE THE UNITED STATES BUT
EVERYONE DRESSES UP IN VARIOUS COSTUMES AND THEN THEY PARADE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY. THE WHOLE CITY PARADES AROUND IN
THEIR COSTUMES. THERE ARE ALSO ORGANIZED CLUBS WHICH PARADE DOWN
THE STREETS WITH THE LEADERS AND OFFICIALS OF THE CITY. HAVING
WATER FIGHTS AND SHAVING CREAM FIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY
IS ALSO A PART OF THE CELEBRATION.
THIS TAKES PLACE ONE WEEK LONG IN LATE SPRING.
