Spanish term or phrase: Gran Corso
Hi everyone,

I am sure someone will know what the English for this "Carnaval" term is. This is a text from Peru referring to Carnaval/Mardi Gras:

Actualmente, esta fiesta tiene su mayor expresión en Cajamarca, cuya ciudad es reconocida oficialmente como “Capital del Carnival peruano” y su pueblo goza de día feriado para disfrutar del Gran Corso.

Again, I understand the sentence, I just need a proper term for "Gran Corso" in English.

Thanks!
Laura

agree  Jorge Gonza: Big Parade. At the beginning I thought of a misspelling of "Gran Corzo", i.e. Napoleon (with a "z") :)

Explanation:
Encuentro varios "hits" para Great Corso refiriéndose a algún tipo de carnaval, pero en Europa. Tal vez lo han copiado o es algo similar en Cajamarca. Saludos.
