On the eve of her coronation night and the beginning of her tenure as queen of the Barranquilla Carnival 2022, Valeria Charris received this March 22 crown that she will wear during the holidays. The piece, which is full of colors and shades, is called Florecer Real and is inspired by Colombian flora.

It was indicated that this is a high jewelry design made of 950 sterling silver and pieces in 24-carat gold-plated bronze, with gem-setting in tones ranging from dark purple to light purple, from intense red to fuchsia, from wine to orange and colorless sparkles provided by more than 500 Swiss zircons. It also has shapes that allude to the characteristic vines of mangroves and swamps represented in an area of half moons that support the piece.

It should be noted that the queen's coronation usually takes place two days before the official start of Carnival, that is, that this year the date will be March 24. The event will be held at the Romelio Martinez Stadium starting at 8:00 p.m.

Not much information has yet been revealed about this event, what is confirmed is that Carlos Vives will be one of the artists who will sing in the show.

Although Carnival will officially begin on Saturday, March 25, the city will be celebrating from Thursday. In addition to the coronation of the queen, this same day in the afternoon there will be the Colombia vs. Bolivia at the Metropolitano stadium.

The match will be at 6:30pm but at 2:30pm the doors of the stadium will open for fans to start entering. Match-goers will not be required to wear masks. The decision was made by the mayor of the Atlantic capital, Jaime Pumarejo, who argues that the element is not necessary since the stadium is an open space.

In addition to these events, during these last days of pre-carnival and during the carnival the following activities will take place:
