Bustling streets come alive with gorgeous costumes, parades and sumptuous street food and drink.<\/p>\n<p>Rio Carnival is held each year the Friday before Ash Wednesday, this year it starts on April 20th until April 30th, the carnival dates back to the 1650s. Its roots are in mythology as it started with people throwing fabulous parties to honour the Roman god of wine, Bacchus. As Catholicism became more popular in Brazil, it influenced the festival and gave it its name. During lent, proper Catholic practice means abstaining from meat and \u2018carne vale\u2019 means \u2018farewell to meat\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, cities across Brazil come alive with music, colour and joy. So, let\u2019s delve into the sights, sounds and smells of Rio Carnival.<\/p>\n<h3>The popular parade processions<\/h3>\n<p>The samba parade in the city of Rio is the festival\u2019s jewel in the crown. The city\u2019s samba schools take to the 80,000 capacity Sambadrome and show their skills in a fierce competition. This visual spectacular is held along a half-mile runway, and accompanied by incredible costumes adorned with beads, feathers and plenty of glitz and glamour.<\/p>\n<p>The parade itself can have over 1000 people taking part from the twelve main samba schools in the city. Each school then takes to the streets with their elaborate floats and extravagant costumes to sing, dance and entertain the audience. Judges watch carefully and decide the winner, ending the night by lighting up the sky with plenty of fireworks.<\/p>\n<h3>Going loco for lively blocos<\/h3>\n<p>Outside of the Sambadrome, in the otherwise sleepy streets of Rio you\u2019ll find blocos happening all over the place. These street parties can start a month before the samba parades and go on for a fortnight afterwards. You\u2019ll see lots of neon, face paint and people in fancy dress to cram as much colour as possible into the parties and no theme is off limits.<br \/>\nMusicians take up their instruments and the city echoes with singing day and night. These blocos happen across the country, but the most traditional are held each year alongside the parade. Banda de Ipanema is a huge beach party and Monobloco sees over 100 brass and drum musicians gathering to perform for the crowds. But the biggest and most traditional is when people go dotty for polka dots at Cord\u00e3o do Bola Preta.<\/p>\n<h3>Flamboyantly feathered costumes<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like the resplendent colour combinations of the carnival. Each samba school chooses a key theme important to them and brings it to life with their costumes and choreography. Most of the costumes are made painstakingly by hand at the schools, and they use sequins, feathers, beads, ruffles and jewels to make sure they\u2019re eye-catching and covering just enough modesty for the dancers.<br \/>\nSome people can even buy the themed costumes to show their support for the samba schools during the competitions. These are made to order and can be just as detailed as those worn by the performers during the shows.<\/p>\n<h3>Tucking into Rio\u2019s finest street food<\/h3>\n<p>During the carnival you\u2019ll smell the most delicious food wafting across the city. Stalls selling grilled meats, empadas and cheesy bread balls called p\u00e3o de queijo line the streets to keep revellers\u2019 energy up.<br \/>\nStaying cool in the heat is important but the carnival-goers have the perfect solution. Ice lollies are a popular choice amongst dancers and these fruity favourites can sometimes include vodka and rum to give them a little extra kick.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of tipples, Rio Carnival isn\u2019t short of a few cocktails. Partygoers and parade watchers will often be found with a Caipirinha Carnival in hand. The signature drink of Brazil, it includes sugar, lime and cacha\u00e7a and during the carnival season, blackberries are added to give it a gorgeous, deep purple hue \u2013 because we know the carnival is all about colour!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not able to be there in person you can certainly embody the spirit of Rio Carnival. Throw on your most colourful costume, glitter and make up, grab a cocktail and start to samba.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--yellow\">\n    <div class=\"container container--no-pad-mobile\">\n        <div class=\"container container--small\">\n            <h2 class=\"u-text-center title\"><span>More<\/span> <span>Culture<\/span> <span>Guides<\/span><\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"u-text-center u-padded slider slider--stretched slider--nav-bottom-wide slider--nav-navy slider--offset-mobile\">\n            <div data-behaviour=\"related-slider-large\">\n                                                            <div>\n                                \n<a class=\"box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-ie\/blog\/culture-guide\/rio-carnival-the-biggest-party-in-the-world\/\" aria-labelledby=\"card-subtitle-7317 card-title-7317 card-excerpt-7317\">\n    <div class=\"box__image\">\n\t\t                    \t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/04\/01092146\/shutterstock_190431911-1.jpg\"  alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t                                                                                                    <div class=\"box__tag category-marker u-contrast-text--red u-bg--red\">\n                                Culture Guide\n            <\/div>\n                <div class=\"box__overlay \"><span class=\"box__view\">\n                            Read article\n                    <\/span><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"box__content\">\n                    <p class=\"box__subtitle h6\" id=\"card-subtitle-7317\">01 March 2023<\/p>\n                <h3 class=\"box__title\" id=\"card-title-7317\">Rio Carnival: The biggest party in the world<\/h3>\n                            <p class=\"box__excerpt\" id=\"card-excerpt-7317\">Are you ready for the greatest show on earth?
