July 8th the Cozumel Carnaval Committee for 2005 was officially announced and began working on the event.
The first order of business was to finalize the dates for Carnaval 2005. A logistical issue arises in 2005 since by law Cozumel local elections for Presidente must be held on February 6, 2005. This very important date falls during the traditional religious calendar dates for "Fat Tuesday" & Ash Wednesday and as such would pose 1) logistical problems for all city personnel having two such important priorities simultaneously and 2) an inconvenience to visitors since no liquor can be sold for the 1-2 days surrounding the election date. Consequently, local officials have decided to move Cozumel Carnaval 2005 to the following week and are in the process of notifying the general public and all those in the tourism sector so as to ensure those planning to visit Cozumel during Carnaval will have the correct dates for the celebration. Carnaval 2005 will be held February 9 - 16, 2005
