Holidays
Venezuela has many unique and distinct holidays. Most of these holidays originated from Colonial times and have changed through the course of history. Two of the holidays that are celebrated in many other countries, as well as Venezuela, and are the most famous are the Day of the Dead and Carnival. These two holidays are the life of the party when it comes down to it. People parade in the streets and dance, create altars for their deceased family members, and have a ball while doing so. These holidays combine what Venezuela is all about, fun and relaxation.
