As I understand it: Carnaval marks the week, really six day, starting on a Thurday and ending on a Tuesday, Fat Tuesday to be exact, which is the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of lent. Lent ends with Good Friday which is the Friday before Easter. The exact dates of all these events vary as they are all based on the date of Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday varies each year as it is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the March equinox.

A carnival is a place for festivities. At a carnival there are various rides/roller coasters, food, contests and animals. Where I live, people also call a carnival, a fair.

There is also a holiday called Carnival before Lint begins.
