Event Details

Rio Carnival 2025, Brazil

If you look at the bucket list for many people, chances are that heading to what is known as the biggest show on Earth is somewhere near the top of the list. The Rio Carnival is one of the biggest parties in the world and it is something that has to be seen and experienced to be believed. In fact, as many as 6 million people are thought to be at the carnival every year and of this figure 1.5 million are tourists.
Thinking about joining in the celebrations? Here are some of the things that you might want to know about Rio Carnival before you go there…..

When is Rio Carnival?

The Rio Carnival is held at the end of February/the beginning of March every single year. The date will change, as it coincides with Ash Wednesday (this is the last day when the party is most definitely over). If you are looking to enjoy the carnival then you are going to need to make travel plans around that time of year. The carnival is not just one day, rather it carries on from the Friday to the Tuesday (which is known as Fat Tuesday to those in the know).  Rio Carnival 202 4 will begin on 9th February and end on 17th February.

Samba competition at Rio Carnival

The Sambadrome

One of the most eagerly anticipated parts of the entire Carnival has to be the Samba parade and with good reason.  Throughout the parade there are over 3,000 people participating, the majority of which are from the local communities. For many of these people, they will have spent all year preparing for the carnival, working on their floats, their costumes and also their performances too.
Along with the parade there is also the Samba school competition, which is a ticketed event if you want to go and see it. There will be around 12 different Samba schools, all gathering in the Sambadrome and ready to take on one another, claiming the prestigious and much sought after championship title. Each of the schools present a theme and they showcase this using a team of musicians, Samba dances and floats too.

Street Parties

Another huge part of the Rio Carnival are street parties or Blocos that take part all over the city. On average, there will be around 587 street parties throughout the course of the carnival, which means that you are always going to be able to find somewhere to dance, to sing and to just let your hair down and have some fun.
The largest of all the Blocos is the Cordao Da Bola Prega, which is held on the Saturday night in the heart of the city. This particular gathering can draw as many as 1 million people, which makes for one huge party.
The only way that you can really understand what the Rio Carnival is about is to see it with your own eyes. So, why not grab your brightest clothes, dust off your party hat and get yourself to Rio, we can promise you that this is one party that you will never ever forget!

Recently used SN Travel for the second time to help us with our annual holiday The booking process with Laura was great as always but everything after that was very poor. The hotel we stayed at was in the middle of a major upgrade with work starting early in the morning and lasting all day. It was noisy and dusty and not how I want to spend my holiday. The work was right outside our room and all round the swimming pool, see photos. Whilst I fully understand that this is not the fault of SN Travel other holiday makers had been warned and either moved to other buildings on the complex or changed hotels. Either SN Travel decided not to tell us this or they are not very well informed by their local agent. Either way you should question why you need to use them rather than go direct to the hotel or book online Our transfer from the airport, which they organised, was also a shambles but again they are taking no responsibility for that either. Make your own judgement as to whether you want to use this company, I think there are many better ones out there. We certainly won’t ever use them again

Nadeene is amazing to deal with. Not like most other travel agents who fob you off just to take your money. She genuinely makes an effort to cater to your specific needs. I highly recommend booking with SN Travel & Nadeene especially.

Sntravel exceeded the dream. We recently had 78 passengers in our group who booked with SNTravel to travel to Antigua for a 60th birthday staying at St James's Club and other parts of the island. Yvonne made the dream become the reality, dilligently working to accommodate everyone's need. An exceptional job and everyone has said until the next time. Thank Andrew & Dawn

My recent travel was sadly horrendous. The issues start with information for my flight to my hotel stay. I had to email and call SN for my final holiday details as my date for travelling were nearing. This filled me with anxiety. My hotel itinerary was different to my friends, I had room only booked with no breakfast meal, the lift to our hotel floor was not working properly, there was no one to help us with our luggage to our room on the 18th floor, we had no hot water to shower after travelling for hours, I could not close the blinds to my window, so was completely disposed to all to see me in my room, the room itself was not very clean. My friends in another room also experienced the same issues as well, and we spoke with other guests who were equally disappointed. We complained almost every day, and eventually spoke to the hotel director Bill Russell (that's the name he gave us) Bill informed us that a waiver of 1 nights stay would be returned to us as soon as SN travel were contacted and informed. Sad to say this was my first time using SN and will be the last. DO NOT GO TO THE MANHATTAN AT TIMES SQUARE HOTEL!!! This place needs to be completely refurbished. We await to find out if we will have further contact with SN Travel & The Manhattan.
