This year they have been starting at the south end and traveling north. There are performances, competitions & events nightly on the Town Square, which are usually scheduled to begin around 8pm. The troupes also perform at parties, hotels, restaurants, & in the streets. This info is from the newspaper articles about Carnaval, most of which lacked specific times. Last year the events on the square were scheduled to begin at 8p, but often started later. The parades were scheduled to start at 3p, but started earlier and later. You can generally see and hear the participants & spectators moving toward the event before it begins.
