The parade is a real marathon where samba groups to participate. If you know anything about the Rio Carnival on television, it usually is this festival.

The street carnival is a spontaneous event for young and old. Special bands – big and small – depart at some point and go partying all through the city. These bands are called blocos and bandas.
