Synopsis
The residents of Sesame Street prepare for a fiesta. Rosita makes a beautiful float for the carnival, but Elmo accidentally breaks it.


 * Song: "Numero Comparsa" (featuring Celia Cruz)


 * Song: "Amigo"

While Maria fixes the float, Gabi prepared the costumes. Elmo and Rosita can't decide which costume to wear. Then, Rosita wants to tell everyone what a fiesta is: a carnival!


 * Song: "Fiesta"

Elmo and Rosita settle on bugs for their costumes. Oscar is dragged into guessing game and accidentally answers correctly.


 * Song: "El Baile del Pinguino"

The children and Elmo and Rosita practice the conga. Elmo adds a "Wiggle-wiggle" into the dance, and after some debate, the whole group decided to wiggle too.


 * Song: "Conga Counting Song"


 * Song: "It Sure is Hot!" (Hace Calor)

Finally, Maria manages to fix the float, but Elmo accidentally breaks the float again. Elmo promises to get a new float, somewhere.


 * Song: "South America Way"

While all the kids are sad because they don't have a float anymore, Elmo brings a pineapple, saying that a fairy godmother would turn the pineapple into a float, just like Cinderella's carriage. Gabi and the others don't believe Elmo's fictional story. Elmo calls for a fairy godmother, at which point Oscar arrives in the Sloppy Jalopy. He refuses to help by lending the car for the carnival, but Gabi points out that the car would be decorated "with great looking trash". Oscar finally relents and allows his car to be used as a float.


 * Song: "La Charreada" (featuring Linda Ronstadt)

Maria dresses as a Queen Bee, and announces the beginning of the carnival.
