Carnival of Rio de Janeiro

Step into a kaleidoscope of color, rhythm, and boundless energy at the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, the world’s biggest and boldest celebration! Rio transforms into a samba-fueled wonderland where over two million revelers flood the streets daily to dance, sing, and celebrate life itself.

But Carnival isn’t just confined to the Sambadrome—it spills into every corner of Rio with wild street parties and lively blocos like the legendary Banda de Ipanema. Whether you’re joining the revelry on Copacabana’s sands or twirling to the irresistible beat in Cinelândia Square, Rio Carnival is more than a festival—it’s a way of life. Don your most extravagant costume, feel the samba beat, and get ready for the ultimate party that the whole world dreams of attending. Rio Carnival is calling—are you ready to answer?
