Which character's burial marks the end of Barranquilla Carnival? Joselito Carnaval.

The burial takes place on Shrove Tuesday, the carnival's fourth and final day, just before Ash Wednesday begins the Lenten season. Joselito is a comic folk character who represents the exuberant carnival reveler: he celebrates intensely, becomes exhausted, and symbolically dies after the festivities.

The ceremony is deliberately theatrical rather than solemn. Joselito may be represented by a real person or a dummy carried in a coffin or on a flower-decorated bier. “Widows,” sometimes men dressed as women, mourn loudly, while priests, orphans, musicians and neighborhood groups join the procession. The mock grief turns the festival's ending into another performance.

A common mix-up is confusing Joselito with the Carnival Queen, King Momo or the Marimonda, all important carnival figures but not the character whose burial closes the celebration. The tradition resembles the Spanish and wider Ibero-American custom of burying the sardine. Joselito is then imagined to “resurrect” for the next carnival.
