My Experience of the Amazing Rio Carnival - What Happens During Carnival in Rio | Brazil Travel 🇧🇷

The Rio Carnival in Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: Carnaval do Rio de Janeiro) is a festival held every year before Lent; it is considered the biggest carnival in the world, with two million people per day on the streets. The first Carnival festival in Rio occurred in 1723.

Rio Carnival is meant to celebrate the beginning of Catholic Lent; it's perhaps most well-known for being an incredible spectacle of samba dancing, live music in the streets, world-class parades, colorful costumes, and vibrant revelry.

Rio Carnival takes place in February or March (depending on the calendar), which is also the middle of summer in Brazil. Bring on the heat and humidity! It encompasses elaborate costumes filled with extravagant feathers, sequins, and glitter. Parades are the main event of the Rio Carnival festivities. The energetic, colorful parades consist of floats, dancing, and elaborate costumes.

The Carnival festival happens over a few days, usually just before Lent, in February or March. Because traditionally, many people go on a fast during Lent, giving up meat, sugar, or other foods and drink, the carnival is an opportunity to enjoy these treats for the last time.

Benefits of Carnival - Social benefits - self-esteem; social integration; leadership skill development; physical health and healthy habits; education and learning; volunteerism and community spirit; dedication; spread of the carnival work ethic.
