Join the largest carnival celebration in the world! The Rio Carnival Parade is a stunning competition, where the Samba Schools present an entire year of creativity and dedication through music, choreographies and vibrant fantasies. With this unforgettable experience, you will not just be a spectator — you will shine on the avenue.

You will wear an authentic and handmade fantasy, created by a Samba School, and parade through the iconic Marquis de Sapucaí, dancing alongside experienced members. Our staff will be available to help you prepare and ensure that you feel fully immersed in the energy and excitement of the event.

After the parade, we will offer transport back to your hotel. And if there's room in your suitcase, your fantasy can come back with you as a special souvenir of that magical night.

Don’t forget — Carnival dates change every year, so check in advance when planning your adventure!

    Sambodromo da Marques de Sapucai

    The Marquês de Sapucaí, also known as Sambódromo, is the legendary heart of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Located in the city centre, this iconic space was designed by renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer and officially inaugurated in 1984. Built especially for the great Carnival show, the Sambódromo transforms, each year, into a vibrant sea of colors, sounds and movement, while the samba schools feature unforgettable performances in an intense and passionate competition. With an extent of 700 meters, the venue accommodates more than 70,000 spectators and offers a variety of seating options, including benches, VIP cabins and outdoor areas. More than just a stage, the Sambódromo is a symbol of the cultural wealth of Brazil and the tradition of samba. Although it receives numerous events and concerts throughout the year, it is during the Carnival that it gets real life, becoming the pulsing heart of one of the most electrifying celebrations in the world.
