2027 Brazil Carnival – Rio Sambadrome Parade

Carnival is the biggest Brazilian holiday, and it´s in Rio de Janeiro, where the largest Carnival celebrations are held in the world. It’s filled with music, parades, street parties, and people having the time of their lives. The Carnival in Brazil runs from Saturday until Ash-Wednesday. That’s the official length, but many Brazilians turn it into a 10-day holiday. Approximately 2 million tourists are expected in town every year during the 5-day festivities.

The Rio Carnival Samba Schools Parade will be the Highlight of your Vacation! It is organized as a championship dispute. A fierce 5-day competition, divided into 2 Groups:

1 – Golden Series or Access Group – Sort of a Second Division of Samba Schools that parade every year on Friday and Saturday.

2 – Special Group – It´s the Elite of Rio Samba Schools, with 12 Samba Schools parading on Sunday (7Feb), Monday (8Feb), and Tuesday (9Feb) of Carnival, 4 Samba Schools per Night.

3 – Champions Parade – After the Ash Wednesday Results, all the Top 6 Groups will Parade again on Saturday (13Feb) for the Champions Parade!

The Special Group & Champions Parades start at 10pm and it goes until around 4-5am. Each of the six Samba Groups has 70 minutes to parade. Samba Schools lose one-tenth per minute exceeded on the Parade, to be deducted from its final score.

Surprises abound in the parades of the samba schools, which keep secrets to be revealed only at the promenade. However, all Samba Schools need to follow basic rules within a regulation that gives points to decide who will receive the Special Group big championship title.

Professional, friendly, courteous, reliable service from Marcelo We felt in safe, trustworthy hands and we were well looked after. Marcelo is professional, friendly, courteous and quick to respond. One of the self employed guides we met, praised Marcelo and Do Brazil Right as the best and most ethical tour company in Rio. Marcelo's advice was very helpful in putting our plan together and everything happened exactly according to plan. We had considered a DIY visit to Rio - but when we saw all the long lines we skipped everywhere and the chaos of the Carnaval - we were very glad indeed we had booked with him and listened to his advice. The Carnaval Champions Parade was amazing and for me with a bad back and hip, I am very glad we splashed out on a good seat which Marcelo booked for us. It's a long night! Based on our experience, I would definitely recommend Do Brazil Right for a visit to Rio and the Carnaval.

HANDS DOWN BEST TOUR!!! Hands down best service and meticulous planning! I booked the carnival itineray for my 2 elderly Chinese parents with limited english skills, they had the once-in-a-lifetime seamless smooth experience! Marcelo is prompt with response, and knowledgeable and give me the best advice to optimize trip for my budget. They got the best seats in carnival we didn't think it would be possible. Best hotel location with discount to experience the festival with ease! Saved so much money and hassle through a professional! Absolutely recommend him over and over!!

Amazing night in Sambadromo Marcelo helped organizing tickets for Sambadromo for the elite series - tickets that are really High demand and not easy to get hold of. He was really helpful and I had an absolutely amazing experience. If in doubt do not hesitate to go to Sambadromo for the carnaval, and Marcelo does a great job to make sure you get a fantastic experience!

A perfect experience in Rio This was one of the best trips we have ever taken, and we have done quite a few in our lives. I would like to thank Marcelo for the entire experience, attention to small details, courtesy and professionalism. There are a few points I would like to highlight as positive: - Fast and excellent communication via email; - Discounted payment plan - Excellent recommendations for Carnival Parade including purchasing excellent tickets - Beautiful private tour of Rio, accompanied by a very professional and nice guide, including a visit to a very special place - The Maze - a must see. - Excellent hotel that was recommended to us - directly 1st line on Copacabana! I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to enjoy Marcelo's services. We already miss Brazil! Thank you so much, Alex Daich.

Best ever company! Fantastic 2 days in Rio so well organised at a magical time to be in Rio but brings tremendous challenges with gridlocked roads and diversions often at standstill. Brilliantly managed by DoBrazilRight guide and driver. 10 out of 10 for managing itinerary to ensure we saw and did everything we planned. Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Mountain, ipanema, copacabana, city and much more. Sambadrome amazing!! Our guide was so informative, helpful, and fun. Tailored to our cruise timings. Communications fantastic. Cannot praise high enough.
