The dates for Carnaval de Barranquilla 2009 MAYBE February 26-March 3, Just check for ASH wednesday and that will be an approximate. Not a whole lot out yet. If you really have to know check one of the major hotel sites for BAQ since rates go wayyy up.

Feb. 21 - 24 if you believe this site:

Very funny and typically Colombian that the official site doesn't mention the 2009 dates. At least I couldn't find them...

That sounds about right since Ash Wednesday is Feb 25 and the carnaval ends the day before.
