]]> The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the biggest carnival in the world and the festival is held every year for a week before Lent starting in late February to early March. During this festival, the streets are filled with some of the best parties and these are the ones you should attend.

Sambódromo

The most important venue of carnival, the Sambódromo hosts the famous carnival parades. Rio’s best samba schools present a performance that took a year’s worth of preparation and is filled with costumes, floats, and dances.

Centro

Rio city center (Centro) has the oldest and most popular blocks in town. Cordão do Boitatá attracts families and partygoers and costumes are encourages while the official first-ever block of carnival, Cordão do Bola Preta, is the largest one where people dress up in black and white polka dots.

Santa Teresa

The vibe of Santa Teresa is bohemian and artsy with it being a favorite among Rio residents. Be sure to check out the bloco Carmelitas, which is themed around the story of a nun who jumped over the convent’s walls to join the party. Many people wear colored veils to pay honor to the nun.

Mardi Gras | New Orleans

Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, celebrates the day before the first day of Lent. It goes on for two weeks and it’s all about indulging as much as you can before forty days of fasting and abstinence.

Rio Carnival | Brazil

The biggest carnival in the world, the Rio Carnival attracts nearly five million people each year and people from all around the world come to see it. It’s held 40 days before Easter and the highlight is the Samba Parade.

Holi | India & Nepal

The ancient Hindu spring festival happens between late February and mid-March and lasts for a day and a night. Known as “the festival of colors” or “the festival of love”, it’s celebrated by people drenching each other with water balloons and water guns and covering each other in colors.
