08Feb25 – Saturday – Rio Carnival Champions Parade
.
The 2025 Rio Carnival will begin on Saturday, March 1st. The main Carnival events are the Parades held at the Sambadrome. The main parades occur on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (March 2nd, 3rd, and 4th), known as the Special Group Parade. The results will be announced on Ash Wednesday, and the top 6 Groups will parade again on Saturday, March 8th, for the Champions Parade.
DoBrazilRight Tours & Travel is a Rio Carnival Specialist with over 20 years of Experience organizing Groups for the Greatest Show on Earth.
We highly recommend the Open Front Boxes and the Sector 9 Grandstand as the best seats to watch the Carnival Parade, mainly because these are assigned tickets, and you don´t need to arrive early. Below is a summary of the best tickets.
| Open Front Boxes | Grandstands |
| The 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 will be able to 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 a great opportunity to save, especially on Row A. |
Best Sectors 9 – Only one with assigned spaces!
|
|
Sector 3 – Located at the beginning of the parade route and across the first Drummers Playing Area, sector 3 has a shorter waiting time between groups and you get to enjoy the warm-up, extra 15 minutes of party and drums while the rest of the Sambadrome is seated and waiting. Sectors 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 located right 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´s Expensive but there is no need to arrive early at all (the greatest advantage).
|
Round Trip Sambadrome Transfers – Port Terminal Pick-up, right outside Passengers Terminal # 4 at pre-scheduled times, and will drop you off inside the Venue (which is an amazing plus). Return Buses leave the Sambadrome always at the end of each group parade, from the same point you will disembark on your Arrival. This is a very convenient service considering traffic and crowded locations throughout the city, as you may return all night long, always at the end of each group parade (6 different return times!).
Delivery
Carnival Tickets and transfer coupons will be delivered at the Port, right outside Passengers Terminal # 4, from 12pm until 2pm, on Friday the 7th of March, and for customers purchasing the 2-Day Tour, Tickets and Coupons will be delivered by the Tour Guide when boarding the Tour vehicle on Friday Morning. There is a considerable chance all tickets for 2025 will be Electronic; if they are, no delivery will be necessary.
