Carnival time in Nice With floral floats and flower parades, the Nice Carnival is launched in full color. For the two weeks of this 118th carnival, the people of Nice will be living, breathing, and dancing to the rhythm of music, making the event one of the high points of the year. This time, His Majesty the Carnival King will be baptized King of Euroland. Sitting on top of his royal float, he will preside over the processions until Mardi Gras itself, when he will be symbolically burned at the stake. According to tradition, this sacrifice marks the end of Carnival.
