If it sounds like a lot of fun, well, that’s because it is! Whether you’re backpacking through Brazil or planning a trip just to experience Carnival, it’s an incredible experience to be in the country for.

But before you join the party, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to make sure your experience is the best it can be. We’ve been lucky enough to celebrate carnival in Brazil, so we can’t wait to share all we know with you!

What is Carnival in Brazil?
Carnival in Brazil is an annual celebration held on the Friday afternoon before Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of Lent. Lent is the period of fasting and reflection when Christians traditionally gave up meat and other treats in the lead-up to Easter. Therefore, Carnival is seen as the final chance to overindulge in food and drink before this begins.It’s one of the biggest and most vibrant carnivals in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year!

The event is a mix of music, dance, food, and parades. There are street parties, raves, and live concerts all over the country.

There are lots of different types of celebrations, as well as pre-and post-Carnival parties. In fact, Carnival celebrations in Brazil begin as easily as a month before the actually Carnival date. People typically dress up in colorful and flamboyant costumes, and the atmosphere is really exciting.

Local folklore plays a significant role in the festivities and you can also learn a lot about Brazilian culture and history as you party. Customs vary according to region and city, but the Brazilian spirit of joy and celebration is unique.

When is Carnival held in Brazil?
Since Easter dates vary from year-to-year, Carnival dates also change.

Generally speaking, Carnival is held in February or March; the exact dates are announced a few years in advance. Although Carnival is always on a Friday, the celebrations go on until Tuesday, which is Mardi Gras!

There are also pre-parties and after-parties, so the whole Carnival period usually lasts for a couple of weeks altogether. This means that even if you aren’t in Brazil on the exact date, you can have the carnival vibes.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival
Carnival is celebrated all over Brazil and festivities vary across the country, but wherever you go, it’s guaranteed to be a good time! Rio de Janeiro is the most famous Carnival destination, and it’s easy to see why. This is one of the top Latin American cities to see and every year, 2 million people take to the streets of this vibrant city to celebrate.

There’s a huge Samba parade that takes place in the Sambadrome on the Sunday and Monday of Carnival, including a couple of pre-shows on the days leading up, during which around 8,000 performers dance down the parade route passing through specially designed floats. Samba schools in Rio also compete against each other in spectacular dance competitions, which are a must-see.

Street parties take place all over the city, with marching bands and lots of partygoers. There are also masquerades and formal balls, but the real fun is out on the street!
