Carnival in Rio de Janeiro


There are balls, street parties, street band processions, and the highlight of the whole event: the Samba Parade.
The street band of Ipanema will be a totally unforgettable experience as the most famous and flamboyant of all the street parties. It was formed back in 1965 and has been a stronghold of the street band scene ever since - come find out why for yourself. You can strut your stuff at the Gay Gala Costume Ball (whatever your persuasion) for more fun than you can shake a stick at in one night, and if you want to join the ranks of high society you can attend the Magic Ball at the Hotel Copacabana Palace. You can learn to samba, parade around in costume yourself, join the street parties, march with the street bands.
Next year’s Carnival in Rio starts on March 1, 2014. Mark your calendars.
