Get set for the 2013 Samba Parade at the Sambadrome

The 2013 Rio Carnival begins on February 8th and ends on Fat Tuesday, the 12th of February, 2013. However, once the champion of the Special Group samba parade is decided, they will be back to stamp their authority at the Sambadrome on Saturday, 16th February 2013. The Carnival commences during the peak of summer, with the vivacious samba dancers and their troupe making the stadium even hotter. King Momo kicks off the celebrations along with his shimmery queen after which the Children’s Parade begins at the Sambadrome on Carnival Friday, February 8th. The opening event by the kids from the Samba Schools can be as exciting as the main events.

Partying with the champions

The magic and thrill of the Carnival originates from the production of elaborate costumes to the choreography of the costume bearers. The residents of the favelas are deeply involved in the production of magnificent floats, costumes, and every element involved in the staging of the samba parade. Samba schools open their doors to visitors throughout the year and hold parties as early as November, where you can get a sneak preview of what their samba parade may be like at the 2013 Rio Carnival. The champions are decided by a panel of 40 judges who are strategically located across the Sambadrome, awarding points to each samba school for their song, theme, overall performance, the flag bearer, samba dancers, drummers, and several other categories, who all put up a riveting performance for their samba school. Here is your chance to watch the best samba dancers and musicians from Mangueira, Salgueiro, Mocidade, and Sao Clemente, and many others putting up a spectacular performance that will remain as some of the most memorable moments of your lifetime.
