Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade.

What is the difference between Access Group, Special Group and Champions Parade?

Every year, the Samba Schools compete for the title of Champion of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. More than 90,000 people perform during the Carnival. Each School has between 4,000 and 5,000 participants. The Parade lasts 6 days and is divided into three categories:

Access Group, Special Group and Champions Parade.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival - Access Group

Tickets for these two days are significantly cheaper. Although the schools work with a smaller budget, the excitement and beauty are the same.
The best Samba Schools of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival will have the great privilege of participating in the Special Group next year.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival - Special Group

These are considered the big days of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade.
The 12 best Samba Schools in Rio de Janeiro present all their creativity and innovations.
These are the true magical nights of the Sambadrome. Three nights of pure magic and fun.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival - Champions Parade

This Parade takes place on the first Saturday after Carnival.
