Street Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro
7-9 & 14-16 Feb 2020
The Rio de Janeiro Street Carnaval Weekend is a wonderful alternative to the main Carnaval weekend. Hundreds of bands pass through the streets of the city during the weekend, followed by large crowds of dancers. With most people being locals in fancy dress and all the bands being free, the weekend is much cheaper than the Carnaval Weekend but with similar amounts of fun. So bring or buy an outfit, get yourself a Carnaval mask and get out on those streets!
There are no requirements for hotels in Rio de Janeiro on the Street Carnaval Weekend, which takes place on the two weekends before the main event and two/three weeks before the Champions Parade. Dates for the public holiday of Carnaval Weekend in Brazil differ every year. This Rio de Janeiro Street Carnaval Tour can be combined with any of our other destinations in Brazil, either before or after New Year. Particular recommendations include a couple of days visiting one of the Natural Wonders of the World at Iguazu Falls, or spending some time on the beaches close to Rio de Janeiro such as Buzios, Paraty and Ilha Grande. Please bear in mind that the period immediately before the main Carnaval Weekend in Brazil is very busy. All flights and hotels will be reserved a long time in advance, so it is best to book as early as possible! Also, any coastal road journeys between Rio de Janeiro and the beaches will take a lot longer than usual, with heavy traffic as everyone heads away for the busiest holiday weekend of the year in Brazil.
