Carnaval Madness in Brazil
The “Carnival” or “Carnaval” in Portuguese is an iconic festival which draws millions of viewers and revellers. Brazil is full of tourists at this time of the year and everyone is in a festive mood as the country focuses its attention to the celebration. The influx of visitors will, however, cause the rates of accommodations and other commodities to rise, so you might want to prepare a bigger budget.
Carnaval falls forty days prior to Easter Sunday, a Roman Catholic religious holiday where the devout start to abstain from meat. In fact, “carnival” is derived from “carnelevare”, which means “to remove or raise meat”.
The participants of the parades and presentations are majorly composed of hundreds of samba schools who are competing in music, choreography, originality, and style, among others, to win the coveted prize. The public are free to join and dance in the streets and follow the floats and groups as they play samba music.
Participating in this event will surely be a once in a lifetime opportunity for most. You can consider yourself lucky to experience this vibrant and exciting nationwide celebration.
