Miami Carnival tried an ambitions new plan for hosting a huge public gathering — requiring recent PCR tests and constant masking. Only one problem: Almost nobody masked
After taking a hiatus in 2020, the annual celebration of Caribbean culture known as Miami Carnival returned this past weekend amid a still-thriving pandemic, creating general unease for organizers of large gatherings where social distancing is next to nil. An estimated 30,000 attendees from South Florida, across the U.S.
On Saturday, attendees celebrated J’Ouvert, a parade that sets off Carnival and that involves attendees dressing in vibrant colored beach clothes and dousing each other with neon paint. The vibe was like a Spring Break party on the beach. Catherine Des Rosiers, a 26-year-old Toronto resident, said she figured Carnival staffers would not enforce the mask mandate once people got through the entrance. “They have to publicize it in a way so the government doesn’t say anything,” Des Rosiers said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that once you are inside, that it’s something you have to do.”
