About Rio Carnival 2027

Samba schools spend the entire year preparing for this, and it shows in every sequin, drumbeat and float. Thousands of dancers move through the parade in a tightly choreographed sequence, each school given roughly an hour to tell its story through music and costume. Judges score the performances on dozens of technical points, though for most in the stands the spectacle itself is the draw. Nights run long, the drumming does not let up, and the crowd sings along to lyrics they have known for months.

Where to stay nearby

For this parade, Rio de Janeiro itself is the obvious base, putting the Sambadrome and the wider carnival buzz right on the doorstep. Duque de Caxias offers a quieter, more budget-friendly alternative for those happy to travel in for the event.
