Here's the continuation of the 2021 Calendar of World Festivals! Let's see what's on in February!

Oruro Carnival, Bolivia. Witness a cavalcade of parades, folk dancing and live performances at Carnaval de Oruro, Bolivia's world-renowned carnival.

The festivities began as a religious festival in the 1700s. Today, the celebrations still have a religious element, thanks to the country's largely Catholic population. Oruro begins before Lent with a ritual dedicated to the Virgin of Candelaria.

It's so powerful, in fact, that it's one of UNESCO's Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Alas, the 2021 edition has been suspended.

Rio Carnival, Brazil. Is there a more famous, electric and colourful carnival in the world? We'd argue not, and go as far to say that Rio de Janeiro's pre-Lent celebrations can't be challenged.

There's even a purpose-built Sambadrome, where Samba Schools perform and compete, but even a stadium can't contain the excitement. While 2021's official carnival parade has been postponed indefinitely, local street parties may still take place.

Sapporo Snow Festival, Japan. One of the biggest of its kind. Running for over 70 years, millions descend on Hokkaido to admire the winter wonderlands set up in Odori Park, and dotted across the city.

Usually there's a real international feel to the festival: ice sculptors from around the globe attend to compete in the International Snow Sculpture Contest.

Mardi Gras, New Orleans, USA. Held a day before Ash Wednesday in the Christian calendar.

While 2021 will be a quieter affair – without the usual parades and crowds – the city is still set to celebrate.

Taiwan Lantern Festival, Taiwan. Nicknamed the 'windy city' because of its coastal location, the north west city of Hsinchu is set to host Taiwan's nationwide lantern festival in 2021.

The event marks the end of the Lunar New Year, and sees thousands of glowing lanterns being released in to the night sky across the country.

The highlight of the 2021 edition will be a lantern comprising 108 bamboo sticks, which will be released to music in Jinhua Park, Hsinchu.
