2017 Rio Carnival Street Parties Schedule

Pre-Carnival – 11Feb17 – 24Feb17 

Carnival Street Parties in Rio de Janeiro start 2 Saturdays prior to the Carnival Official Date that in 2017 will be from the 25th of Feb until the 1st of March.
If you really enjoy the Street Parties and don’t mind about watching the Carnival Parade, travelling to Rio 1 or 2 weekends before Carnival is an amazing opportunity to enjoy Carnival and save a lot, specially on Hotel Rates.
Suvaco de Cristo Street Party is considered by many as one of the best street parties in town, and it only takes place on the Sunday Prior to the Carnival. Pre-Carnival Street Parties are so much fun, once they are not as crowded as during Carnival, and you pretty much get to party with locals. If you are a street party lover, you may definitely considering travelling to Rio the weekend prior to Carnival.

South Zone – Flamengo, Botafogo, Leme, Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and São Conrado Beaches, plus Lagoa, Gavea, Catete, Laranjeiras and Jardim Botanico.
Downtown Area – Lapa and Santa Teresa

Parties with the Blue Background are the best ones and the ones highly recommended by DoBrazilRight Tours.

Carnival – 25Feb17 – 01Mar17 
456 Blocks will perform over 600 Street Parties during the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Carnival.

DoBrazilRight selected the best Parties in town with a highlight to the ones with a Blue Background. These parties are a great opportunity to visit gorgeous residential neighborhoods such as Lagoa, Gavea, Laranjeiras (São Salvador Square), Jardim Botanico and party like a native.

DoBrazilRight highly recommends all clients to pick at least one party in Santa Teresa (Ceu na Terra Sat AM is a great way to start the festivities), at least one party at Aterro do Flamengo, a beautiful park that hosts only the top rated parties with highlights to Sargento Pimenta (Sgt Pepper, play only Beattles Songs on Samba rhythm) and Orquestra Voadora (one of our favorites of all time).
Banda de Ipanema and Simpatia é Quase amor are the biggest parties in the Copacabana/Ipanema area and are definitely a lot of fun, since they take place on the beach avenue in Ipanema and you can always hang out on the beach and party at the same time. Leblon and Jardim Botanico parties are also a lot of fun, very upscale neighborhoods!

South Zone – Flamengo, Botafogo, Leme, Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and São Conrado Beaches, plus Lagoa, Gavea, Catete, Laranjeiras and Jardim Botanico.
Downtown Area – Lapa and Santa Teresa

Post Carnival – Champions´ Parade Weekend – 03Mar17- 05Mar17

Even though officially Carnival ends on Ash Wednesday, in reality Carnival will only end 4 days later, on Sunday. The following weekend is still definitely considered Carnival, specially because of the Champions´ Parade on Saturday and the hundreds of Street Parties taking place all over the City again. DoBrazilRight selected the best Street Parties in town during the Champions´ Parade weekend, with highlights to the ones with the Blue Background. These parties are just as great as during Carnival, after all, it´s still Carnival.
