About this place
Los carnavales de Sechura y de la caleta de Bernal están entre las celebraciones carnavalescas con mayor tradición del Bajo Piura, en plena temporada veraniega de febrero. El carnaval de Bernal destaca por la competencia entre sociedades yunceras, que llenan las calles de color, música y coreografías alrededor del yunse, el árbol decorado al que se rinde homenaje (Y tú qué planes – PROMPERÚ; TVPerú).
Comparsas de vecinos recorren las calles con bandas de música, juegos de agua, concursos de yunsas y verbenas nocturnas (RPP).
