WHAT YOU VISIT
A Tablado
Uruguay's Carnival is longer than the more famous one in Brazil and is a celebration of a good harvest, the country's abolition of slavery, and marks the beginning of Lent. And like all festivals, color, glitter, fun, casualness, good humor, laughter and emotion are the main component of this Uruguayan celebration of life. Unlike Brazil's street festival, Uruguay's is held on small stages called "tablados," by "murgas," a unique form of choir involving 14 to 17 people dressed in costume. Get in the spirit with a visit to a tablado where you'll watch performers in colorful costumes and you'll even get a chance to join them on stage, try on a murga costume and become a murga performer!
