Desfile de Llamadas

The centerpiece of Montevideo's Carnival, the world's longest, this parade celebrates Afro-Uruguayan Candombe culture with roughly 3,000 drums and over 6,000 participants moving down Isla de Flores street. Top-ranked comparsas from the prior year's competition parade on the first night, followed by qualifying groups on the second.
