{{Main|Carnival in Mexico}}
In [[Mexico]], ''Carnaval'' is celebrated in about 225 cities and towns. The largest are in [[Mazatlán]] and the city of [[Veracruz (city)|Veracruz]], with others in [[Baja California]] and [[Yucatán]]. The larger city Carnavals employ costumes, elected queens, and parades with floats, but Carnaval celebrations in smaller and rural areas vary widely depending on the level of Mediterranean influence during Mexico's colonial period. The largest of these is in [[Huejotzingo]], [[Puebla]], where most townspeople take part in mock combat with rifles shooting blanks, roughly based on the [[Battle of Puebla]]. Other important states with local traditions include [[Morelos]], [[Oaxaca]], [[Tlaxcala]], and [[Chiapas]].<ref>https://www.sinembargo.mx/12-02-2018/3384548 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190101200829/https://www.sinembargo.mx/12-02-2018/3384548 |date=1 January 2019 }} accessed 1 January 2019</ref> Carnaval of [[Campeche]] goes back 400 years, to 1582.<ref>https://www.barcelo.com/pinandtravel/es/carnaval-campeche-2017-el-carnaval-con-mas-historia-de-mexico/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190102010632/https://www.barcelo.com/pinandtravel/es/carnaval-campeche-2017-el-carnaval-con-mas-historia-de-mexico/ |date=2 January 2019 }} accessed 1 January 2019</ref>
