About This Event

Carnival Tuesday falls on February 9, 2027. The main Carnival weekend is February 6–9, although parties can start much earlier. In Rio de Janeiro, samba schools parade at the Sambódromo, and blocos de rua bring music into the streets. Salvador is famous for trios elétricos, while Olinda celebrates with frevo and giant puppets. Did you know? Carnival is not a nationwide public holiday, but Carnival Tuesday is a Rio de Janeiro state holiday!
