Brazilian Carnival

Brazilian Carnival is an annual festival held forty-six days before Easter.

It is the most famous holiday in Brazil and has become an event of huge proportions. The country stops completely for almost a week and festivities are intense, day and night, mainly in coastal cities.

Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another. In the southeastern cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, big organized parades are led by samba schools.
