Presentation "7 celebrations around the world"

  largest carnival in the world by Guinness World Records, the event attracts upwards of around 5 million attendees each year, with participants in the parade drawn from dance, samba and percussion schools all across the country

  The result is a remarkable free-for-all, with plumes of water and coloured powders filling the air, as everybody – regardless of their background or standing – joins in the ‘fight’

  the week-long event involves the letting loose of six bulls in a cordoned-off area of the city, who then proceed to chase – and potentially gore – willing runners
