Kote Konsyan nou Carnaval 2026

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me.The General Secretariat of the Presidency announced in a press release that “public administration, commerce, industry, and schools will be closed from noon on Monday, February 16; and completely closed on Tuesday, February 17, and Wednesday, February 18, 2026, throughout the entire national territory.” Carnival festivities will take place on Sunday, February 15, Monday, February 16, and Tuesday, February 17.
