The Havana Carnival in late February and early March features parades in front of the Capitolio or along the
Malecón on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. The Jornadas de la Cultura Camagneyana is scheduled for the
first two weeks of February, and the Havana International Jazz Festival happens every second year in February.
April sees the Semana de la Cultura celebrated in Baracoa and the Electroacoustic Music Festival in Varadero.
The first week of May has the Romería de Mayo in Holguin, and at the end of June Trinidad hosts the Fiestas
Sanjuaneras. Carnival is celebrated in Santiago de Cuba during the last two weeks of July and the first week
of August to coincide with the holidays around July 26. Carnival marks the end of the sugar harvest and originated
as a period in which the slaves were allowed to celebrate. For those 10 days the drum is king. The Festival of
Caribbean Culture is celebrated in June or July, October has the 10-day Havana Festival of Contemporary Music
and the Semana de la Cultura Trinitaria happens in Trinidad in late November. The International Festival of Latin
American Film is held in Havana in December of each year.
