2025 Rio Carnival
What is Carnival ?
It’s the main festivity in Brazil which earned the distinction of being “The Greatest Show on Earth.” The Rio Carnival
starts on Friday until Tuesday or just a day shy of Ash Wednesday, a significant Catholic tradition which signal the
start of Lent. If you really want to understand the question what is Carnival, head off to the Sambodromo
particularly on Carnival Sunday and Monday to experience first-hand why this annual tradition is visited by millions
of people from all the part of the world.
The Samba School Parades of the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro will take place on the following dates: February 28th, March 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 8th.
On February 28th and March 1st are the Access Group parades, which are equivalent to the second division of the Carnival. These are traditional and beautiful schools aiming to reach the special group next year. The parades are simpler, resulting in more affordable tickets.
On March 2nd and 3rd, the Special Group parades will showcase the main samba schools in Rio. These parades are extravagant, featuring large floats and high-quality costumes, which leads to more expensive tickets.
On March 8th, the Champions Parade will take place, bringing together the champion school and the top five from the special group, celebrating the victory and concluding the Rio Carnival by repeating the same parades from the special group days.
