The Summer Carnaval (Dutch: Zomercarnaval) is a yearly event in the Belgian city of Kortrijk and the Dutch cities Rotterdam, Bentelo and Arnherm that mimics the Carnivals of Latin America and the Cape Verde Islands. In the cold, Dutch climate Carnival often is held in the winter. This climate does not lend itself for celebrating carnival in the Latin American and Cape Verde manner, whereas the Summer Carnival does. The Arnhem Rio on the Rhine has 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).
