2025 Rio de Janeiro Carnival
.
The 2025 Rio Carnival starts on the 1st of March, Saturday. The main Carnival events are the Parades held at the Sambadrome. It´s a fierce competition, and the main parades take place on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (2nd, 3rd, and 4th of March), the so-called Special Group Parades.
DoBrazilRight Tours & Travel is a Rio Carnival Specialist with over 20 years of Experience selling Carnival Tours and Packages.
We highly recommend the Open Front Boxes as the best seats to watch the Carnival Parade, and below, you´ll find a comparison between the Boxes and the Grandstands.
| Open Front Boxes | Grandstands |
| Best Assigned seats in the entire Venue, especially on Row A where there won´t be anyone seated in front of you. | Most affordable tickets to watch the Parade. Spaces are not Assigned, except for Sector 9 |
| Located on the Parade Runaway Level, you can see every little detail of the performances, floaters, costumes, expressions, and the intensity of the Drummers. | Beautiful Panoramic Views and pictures of the Parade. |
|
Best Sectors – 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 & 13 We included Sector 13 as they are the least expensive boxes and an excellent opportunity to save, especially on Row A. |
Best Sectors
|
|
Sectors 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 – Favorite Sectors among Brazilians. Sector 11 – Best Drummers Experience from all Sectors as the 2nd Drummers Playing area is next to Sector 11. You will have the drummers playing close to you for half of every parade! Sector 13 – Amazing Value for Row A, and since you´ll be at the ground parade level without a Panoramic View, you will see the same exact parade as if you were on Sector 7 or 9, but saving a lot! |
Tips on Grandstand Sectors
Sector 9 – The only Grandstand Sector with assigned spaces. It costs more, but there is no need to arrive early at all (the greatest advantage). Located next to the Judges!
|
Round Trip Sambadrome Transfers – Port Terminal Pick-up, right outside Passengers Terminal # 4 at pre-scheduled times, will drop you off inside the Venue (which is a fantastic plus). Return Buses leave the Sambadrome always at the end of each group parade, and from the same point, you will disembark on your arrival. This is a very convenient service considering traffic jams, detours, roadblocks, and crowded locations throughout the city, as you may return all night long, always at the end of each group parade (4 different return times!).
Delivery
For the first time in 2025, all Parade Tickets will be electronic. Delivery will not be necessary; however, instructions for ownership transfers will be emailed around January.
