The Montevideo Carnival is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted traditions in Uruguayan culture. For 40 nights, dozens of groups, divided into five categories (Murgas, Humorists, Parodists, Revues, and Comparsas of Black and Lubolo performers), parade through the city performing on stages called “tablados,” while also participating in the Official Competition.

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

Each night, you can enjoy between four and six shows on a tablado, experiencing carnival culture as we do in Montevideo, which is why many travelers from around the world visit us for these artistic expressions, even though they are in Spanish.
