After three days of dancing, the Barranquilla Carnival 2022 says goodbye this Tuesday, March 29. On the last day of celebration, the carnivaleros will mourn the death of the famous Joselito, a symbolic character who represents all those who took advantage of the festival to dance, drink and encornarce.
The farewell to Joselito Carnaval will begin at 4:00 in the afternoon, when the last parade of the season starts.

In this tour will participate Queen Valeria Charris Salcedo, Momo King Kevin Torres Valdés, the kings of the Children's Carnival, Victoria Char Warner and Juan José Bermudez Utria, in the company of the popular queen 2022, María José Río.
