The '''Summer Carnaval''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: Zomercarnaval) is a yearly event in the Belgian city of [[Kortrijk]] and the Dutch cities [[Rotterdam]], [[Bentelo]] and [[Arnhem]] that mimics the [[Carnival|Carnaval]] of [[Latin America]] and the [[Cape Verde Islands]]. The traditional pre-[[Lent]] Carnival falls in winter in the cool, northern European climate. This climate does not lend itself to celebrating carnival in the Latin American and Cape Verde manner. The Summer Carnival offers people an opportunity to celebrate Carnival in such a manner. The Arnhem Rio on the Rhine attracted more than 150.000 visitors, while the Rotterdam event attracts nearly a million visitors yearly. Summer Carnaval is often compared to [[Karneval der Kulturen]] ([[Berlin]]) and [[Notting Hill Carnival]] ([[London]]).

A week prior to the street parade the new Queen is elected in the official Zomercarnaval Queen Election.[2] On the Thursday after the election the Zomercarnaval Beach Party is held at the Stand aan de Maas, a small beach created in the city center of Rotterdam. Several brass bands and DJ's show up and the newly chosen Queen is also present.[3] On Friday evening the Battle of Drums is held, an event in which several brass bands compete to be named the official Zomercarnaval brass band and earn a spot in the parade the day after as well as in the Notting Hill Carnival in London. The preliminaries for the Battle of Drums are held at the Dunya Festival [nl] in Rotterdam.[4] The street parade which is always held on Saturday includes brass bands and thousands of dancers. During and after the street parade there are two live on stage concerts at the Coolsingel and the Churchillplein until late in the evening.[5][6]
