Description
Content Description from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_of_Santa_Cruz_de_Tenerife):
The Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spanish: Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is held each February in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the largest island of the Canary Islands, Spain and attracts people from all over the world.
It is considered the second most popular and internationally known carnival, after the one held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Partially for this reason, the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is twinned with the city of Rio de Janeiro.
In 1980, it was declared a Tourist Festival of International Interest by the Secretary of State for Tourism. The Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife aspires to become a World Heritage Site, as a declaration of its status as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO would promote the festival internationally. In 1987, singer Celia Cruz went to the Carnival Chicharrero with Billo's Caracas Boys; attended by 250,000 people, the concert was registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest gathering of people in an outdoor plaza to attend a concert. In 2019 for its part, more than 400,000 people danced to the rhythm of Juan Luis Guerra during the Carnival of the day thus surpassing the record reached in 1987 with Celia Cruz. Although, however, due to the unexpected mass response there was no notary officializing this figure for the Guinness Book.
The festivities on the streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife start on the Friday before Carnival with an opening parade, which reaches its height during the night when thousands of people in fancy dresses dance until the early hours of the next day. The party continues night after night until Ash Wednesday. That day, people of Santa Cruz de Tenerife celebrate the "entierro de la sardina" (burial of the sardine), and with this event the carnival is officially over. However, the party starts up again the following weekend, known as the weekend of the piƱata.
The festival has two parts: the official Carnival, and the Carnival on the street. The official carnival has more than a hundred groups, including murgas, comparsas, rondallas and other musical groups. The street carnival is more loosely organized, and comprises the people celebrating on the streets. Thousands of people come each day to the streets to participate, most of whom wear a disguise in accordance with Carnival tradition.

Description
Content description from NYT Archives (https://www.nytimes.com/1989/07/14/world/france-celebrates-a-day-of-history.html):
As if to make Paris again the center of the world, Francois Mitterrand today presided over the opening of a week of ceremony to mark the bicentennial of one of the pivotal events of history, the French Revolution.
The French President invited leaders from both rich and poor countries for celebrations to include the opening tonight of the new opera house on the Place de la Bastille, where the Revolution began, to be followed by days of traditional dancing, fireworks and merry-making in the streets of Paris.
Yet the tight security measures imposed to protect the leaders from Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa appeared to have put something of a damper on the mood in the city, which has been abandoned by many Parisians for the duration.
With gawking Parisians and tourists barricaded from the square where the dread Bastille prison once stood, Mr. Mitterrand and his guests attended an inaugural concert of French arias at the gleaming new Bastille Opera. Ideals, Terror, Dictatorship
