The Samba School Parade in Rio, Brazil is something everybody has to experience at least once in life. The event is broadcast live to several countries and all Brazillian states. Although watching on TV is cool, it’s not half as much fun as being at there. You have to mingle with the crowd, sweat, maybe even march with a samba school, which is an association of people from the same neighborhood, usually a working class community in a suburban area. They get together on a regular basis for rehearsals and samba nights.
Unlike the Street Carnival, the Samba Parade is not free. Though tickets are actually quite expensive, they are worth the investment. Fourteen special schools march on Carnival Sunday and Monday, seven each night. The parade starts at 9 p.m. and goes on until sunlight the next day, around 6-7 a.m.
