The third and fourth nights (Sunday and Monday) are the magic nights, because you will watch the most traditional samba schools, the Special Group.

The parade order is announced about 3 (three) months before the parade.
As soon as we have the information we will make the disclosure on our website.

Every day is unique and unforgettable. But certainly the first option is to watch on Sunday and Monday of Carnival which are the days when the most traditional schools perform.
The parade of the Champions is also an option if you prefer to watch the six best schools of the year.
Parades of the Special Group (Friday and Saturday are similar in terms of quality of schools).

Grupo de Acesso Friday and Saturday Carnival: These two days are significantly cheaper.
Although the schools work with a smaller budget, the enthusiasm and beauty are the same.

Grupo Especial Sunday and Monday
These are considered the big days of the Carnival Parade.
The best 14 Samba Schools of Rio de Janeiro present all their creativity and novelties.

Parade of Champions
This Parade takes place the first Saturday after Carnival.
On this night, the 6 (six) best schools of the Special Group plus the Champion of the Access Group, repeat their performances.
This is an extraordinary night, and not the most expensive tickets, a great cost-benefit.

The grades of the samba schools in the Special Group are determined on Ash Wednesday; the winner is declared and the one finishing last is relegated to the Access Group (also called Series A).

The six best-placed teams will return to the Marques de Sapucaí the following Saturday for the parade of champions.

To choose the best schools, the jury takes into account the samba, flag-bearers, percussion instruments, dancers, punctuality, front commission, costumes and floats.

The jurors are personalities with great reputation in the world of samba and show business. With a clinical eye, they observe every detail to choose the best performance.

In our site, in Tickets - Bleachers, Box seats and Box seats, you will find photos, maps and description of each ticket that will help you in your choice.
