Montevideo Carnival is one of the oldest and most popular traditions in Uruguayan culture. For 40 nights, dozens of groups grouped into five categories (Murgas, Humorists, Parodists, Magazines and Comparsas de Negros y lubolos) tour the city performing in so-called “tablados” scenarios, at the same time participating in the Official Contest.

Since the beginning of the last century, the tablado has been the natural meeting place for carnival celebrations. It is the expression of the popular festival, tradition and heritage of the city. It is there that great popular artists have come into contact with Murguero singing, candombe and all the artistic expressions of our carnival.

In the evening we can appreciate between 4 and 6 shows in a tablado, you will feel carnival culture as we live in Montevideo and makes many travelers of the world visit us for these artistic expressions even being in Spanish language.
