Mazatlan, Mexico's "Colonial City on the Beach," is prepared to host more than one million international and domestic tourists at its Carnaval 2014 celebration. With hotels booked to capacity, thousands of day visitors expected and cruise ships in port, Mazatlan is ready to welcome a record-breaking number of guests.

From north of the Golden Zone through Mazatlan's Malecon boardwalk, Carnaval showcases the Pearl of the Pacific's vibrant culture and history. Beginning as a small religious celebration, Mazatlan's Carnaval is now a world-renowned event for tourists looking to celebrate.

"Carnaval is our largest international festival, drawing in people from around the world and across Mexico," said Carlos Berdegue, President and CEO of El Cid Resorts, and vice president of the Mazatlan Hotel Association. "Carnaval gets bigger and better every year, demonstrating Mazatlan's successful growth and development as a premier Mexican destination."

In 2013, the six-day festival allowed international and domestic tourists to witness parades, concerts and local traditions. For the 116th event, Mazatlan will offer attendees even more, as it incorporates and honors the arts through cultural events and exhibitions.
