Carnaval in February

Burning Monsieur Carnaval for Mardi Gras in France

In France, Carnival is a big celebration held before the beginning of the Christian fasting season of Lent. French adults and kids who celebrate Carnival will dress up in costumes and have parties.At the end, they will burn an effigy of Monsieur Carnaval.
While Monsieur Carnaval is burning, people dance in a circle around the fire singing (in French)...
Adieu pauvre Carnaval. Tu t’en vas et moi je reste pour manger la soupe à l’ail.

Here’s an English translation
Goodbye poor Carnaval. You are leaving, and me, I am staying to eat garlic soup.

The soup is made with garlic, a vegetable, since, once Carnival is over, it’s time for Lent. Traditionally during the fast, meat was not allowed to be eaten.
